Using a flagpole was much easier than previous methods, but the aluminum flagpole is kinda bendy. I connected some string from the window in the middle to take some weight off the pole, so hopefully it'll hold through summer. I also taped around the edges, so the tarp should catch less wind in general.

It's that time of year again when I add reflective covering to the back of my house. Last year I got a big tarp that reflects 99% and attached it with twine to a window on one side and the gutter on the other. That worked well through the summer but pulled my gutter off in early fall during a storm. This year I'll be using the same tarp, but I've ordered a 12 ft flag pole. If it works well, I might consider putting up a second tarp with two flag poles on the other side.
