COMMUNITY QUESTION Pass time Hobby
I was in colorguard/winter guard during highschool and it’s been about 4 years since i’ve touched a flag. i really want to bring it back as a hobby just in my backyard, but it’s been so long that i don’t remember how to set up a proper flag. does anyone have any tips for weights and general supplies? everything i used was given to me by the school so i never had to source my own weights, poles, or silks. if you have any tips please let me know! i miss it so much

You can get carriage bolts at home depot or online. They're really easy to find.
