It weighs about 0.7 lb, which doubles as a counterweight to help the flag fall smoothly and remain aligned next to poles from 1-1\/2\" to 5\" in diameter. The design reduces stress on grommets and lets you fine-tune cable length quickly without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this retainer ring protect my flag from wind damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe retainer ring keeps the lower edge of the flag pulled toward the pole so wind gusts are less likely to deform or overstress corner grommets.
