We have had several different wall mounts. All the adjustable ones eventually broke, and ones we have now are similar to the one you posted and have lasted the longest. The other thing I’ve noticed is that you need solid mounting screws or the wind will eventually pull them out. I thought they came fromNever Furl but I can’t find them on the web site.

Excellent timing. Our plastic one pulled the screw out of the osb a month ago. I cut a hole in the inside wall, installed a 2x6 between the studs and replaced it using longer larger screws. I was lucky the wall is the front of our garage workshop and one of the wall cabinets covers the hole. So far so good, but I took the flag down yesterday when we got a real windy 20 minute thunder boomer. I will wait to see if others post more mounts and buy the best one. Cast iron will be better than plastic but I'd still prefer steel.

I recently made one after the plastic holder broke. Scrap piece of 3/4” EMT, welded to a piece of flat stock. Don’t forget a weep hole in base do the “pipe” to allow for rain drainage.

ACE Hardware. $20 bucks. Installed about a month ago. So far so good. On the leeward side of the house for most of the year.
I doubt I'll be hanging the flag out in November-December when the big winds come, so no big deal.

I have a Betsy Flags Kit (BT99090-SAM) from Sams Club and it came complete with an injection molded 2 postition holder with the 3x5 flag and 6ft pole for 36.99. Made in the USA. IT has held up well.. Been screwed to the front of my house for 4 years now.. faces south and gets full sun. I actually have another one because its cheaper to buy that Kit from Sams than it was to buy just the flag from Betsey Flags.
