Article: Hold the flag where you want it on the wall and push a tack through the grommets on the flag's top corners. The grommets are the small metal rings used to fly the flag on a flagpole. If you're hanging a large, heavy flag, use nails instead so it's more secure. Run the rope through the 2 grommets on the flag and then tie the ends of the rope to 2 neighboring street lights or tall objects. Make sure the rope is tied high enough that the flag isn't touching the ground. Mount the flagpole off the building so it makes a 90-degree angle with the side of the building. The flagpole needs to be parallel with the ground so the flag hangs vertically on it. Make sure the flagpole you use is long enough to keep the edge of the flag from brushing against the side of the building.
