Does anyone know an affordable source for the T shape banner poles, such as
are used for church banner that may be carried in processionals? I'm making
a new banner for one of our churches and we very much need a new banner pole
as well, but the ones sold by church supply places are way beyond the budget
of this small church. I've done some searching on Google, but haven't found
what I want and it's a way slow process whenyou have dial-up!

I hope I'm not being sacrilegious here, but it sounds like something
that could be easily assembled for just a few bucks from some pvc piping
and joints then covered with fabric (which could even be hot glued)
either with or without foam padding beneath. And because I'm goofy that
way, I'd wrap the section of the upright that will be held by the person
carrying it in a soft, pretty piece of scrap leather which can only be
improved by handling.

PVC pipe might be a little wonky unless you get a large enough diameter and
that could be difficult to hang on to for any length of time. You can also
buy wood doweling in all sorts of diameter sizes and use a T fitting from
the plumbing department, use it to assemble the cut doweling to appropriate
size and paint it accordingly. The leather wrap is a nifty idea.

PVC pipe would probably be too lightweight and wouldn't stay standing up
straight in the diameter that would fit our current stand. I figure I could
probably create a pole that would look decent AND breaks down from curtain
rods, but I just don't want to do it! As it is I'm trying to get the banner
done and don't want to worry about making a pole too. May yet, but I'd
surely rather find an affordable one I can buy!
It doesn't help that we need one we can break down or collapse so fit in a
car. The current pole doesn't do either so we have to drive our minivan
anywhere we're taking the banner! At current gas prices, that's just not
good!

Can you consult with a church member who does woodworking?
