Outdoor decorative flag placement.

9 years ago

hello & happy fall everyone. I was in the process of switching things around for fall and wanted to move our flag pole. Right now it's placed on the far left column on the very end, I'd like to maybe take that guard rail down and move the flag to another column or beside the garage..??

Thank you for your feedback.

The left column is cut out of the picture. When you say 'guard rail', do you mean the fence-type railing between the posts? Is it also on the side that we can see, from the left post to the house, or just in front?

I'd be concerned about wind blowing the flag in front of, or caught on, the light on the left side of the garage if it was put there. I only see one other column - the one that appears to be to the left of the door. Is your flag large like mine? If it is, I'd then worry that a breeze could wrap it around someone going to the door. If it's a small flag, then no problem!

Remove the shutters while you're at it. They are totally out of place on this house.

The shutters statement I completely agree with but my husband will not budge. We even have homes in our neighborhood without them yet he is not willing to budge. I had to fight for removal of the rail because I told him it closes in a already small space and cuts our curb appeal. Only thing is once we remove it, may be challenging to put it back, the outside of our home really to me has potential bc it is somewhat of a blank slate... For now I am just taking baby steps, committing to a paint color for our door removing the rail and painting the garage door.

I wanted to replace our door but after a long talk that's not in our budget for now.
