A generally cylindrical sleeve depends from and is supported by the transverse member and is adapted to receive and support a flagpole. An upper cylinder has a sidewall adapted to slidably engage the upper portion of the lower cylinder assembly and extends above the upper rim of the lower cylinder housing. The overall assembly has a means for securing the upper cylinder to the lower cylinder assembly. Preferably, the upper cylinder is plastic and the lower cylinder assembly is metal.
