As previous I left about 5 feet at the leading edge at the house and then overlapped the top edge over the paracord and stitched each one into place with a wavy line leaving about 6" between them. I used line green polyester embroidery thread. The ones from 2021 were still well attached at the top though the covering on the paracord was completely gone leaving only the strands inside. They were still holding very well.
We put the new set up yesterday. They were pretty well as long as the last set.
We set out the new set, undid the old set at the house and I climbed the neighbour's tree (I did get permission) and cut down the old set. I was surprised that the tree had started growing over part of the cord in the four years since we put up the last set. After cutting the cord I removed as much as I could so the tree could go on growing as it needed to. So this time we secured the new set using a tie down straps with grommets on both ends instead of tying it directly to the tree. That will allow the tree to grow and still secure the flags sufficiently!!
The final adjustment was made on the house end setting the flags high enough not to be in the way and still with some slack so they would move nicely with the wind.
Love them!!! Therese
