Here's an idea!
Hi Judy. You could make an "L" shape using PVC pipes. It would be easy to glue it together with corner connections. I recommend taking a walk thru your local home improvement store to see what connections you will need. PVC is usually white but you could paint it with the color of your choice. Good luck Judy.
Yep. PVC plumbing pipe is the way to go. 3/4' PVC pipe should work.
You could also use electrical conduit pipe or plumbing pipes. Both have joints so that you can make whatever shape you want. And both paint well.
Judy: this should help you!

Hi Judy, I am not sure how big you want it but these may help, you will just need to scale them down to the size you like

If you want something more substantial than PVC, then I would use treated 4x4’s and sink the post in a 5 gallon bucket of concrete, trim off the top 6- 8” of exposed bucket plastic and then put the post in the hole in the flower bed.
I’d either make a knee brace out of the scrap 4x4 or I’d buy a decorative angle bracket for bracing the cantilevered 4x4 horizontal member.
I would also run a galvanized or stainless steel carriage bolt down through the horizontal piece into the post.
Does anyone know if there is a special light for flags? I just want to see a bright American flag at night.
