fiberglass question
I've aquired a few of these 1/4" round, 4' fiberglass poles that I want to make flag poles with, but I'm not sure of how to join them together. My first thought was something for like a fishing pole, or some such. Ideas?
What other people think about you is none of your business.

Re: fiberglass question
First thing that comes to mind is a sleeve like tent poles have
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

Re: fiberglass question
yup, what potatomoto said. you can't really glue or weld them (likeyou can weld plastic).
alternately, you might be able to drill both sides and make a pin . but I'd go with a sleeve , prolly 1" long at least.

Re: fiberglass question
You could overlap them a few inches and use two metal hose clamps
choose damned if you do

Re: fiberglass question
If you do decide to drill it put a hose clamp around the part your drilling. That will help keep it from splitting.
