The Lone Star state is the only state that has flags in size 30′ x 60′ ready to go. This goes right along with the saying everything is bigger in Texas. At one time, Spain, France,Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederacy and the United States have all flown flags over Texas. They encompass the six flags of Texas. The Texas flag itself, consists of
The Lone Star
a large white star that was first used on flags carried by Texas during the Texas Revolution against Mexico in the 1830s. It is thought that the star comes from the Bonnie Blue Flag used in 1810 by the Settlers in West Florida. An official flag with this star was chosen in 1839, although during the Civil War, the Confederate flag was flown. The flag’s color blue stands for loyalty, white for purity and red for bravery.

The Spinning Pole
There have been many updates in the flag industry, but one stands out.
For as long as flags have been flying on house mounted flagpoles, they have gotten wrapped around the pole. This is called being “furled.” Many items try to negate this unsightely display of the American flag: the pole sleeve flag, the unwrapper tube and the neverfurl. They all accomplished the job of keeping the flag unfurled, but none has succeded as easily as the spinning pole has. It’s simple. Attach the flag and let it fly free. The spinning pole has made the un-wrapper tube and the never-furl obsolete.
What makes it so simple? The pole is actually two pieces of aluminum tube that screw together.
