Flag Weights/Accessories

Hello,

Does anyone know where I might buy a weight that you attach to a flag so when you release the string from the latch it will decent the flag?

Also I need a U shaped fixing with a bolt through the end of it.. I dont know what its called...

Can anyone help?

Use the right knot to unfurl the flag,when you pull the rope you will not need weights.

the string is inside the flag pole, it gets stuck at the top without a weight

Is the rope the right one for the pole, is it actually running in the pulley/guide at the top?

The propoer flag fixing are 'Inglefield Clips',or Snap Hooks, but you could use a small D shackle instead.

As above small D shackle or 'U' bolt.

You could also try a fishing / tackle shop for a lead weight that might work ust as good
