4. Insert plastic anchors into the pilot holes.

Stucco offers a unique and durable exterior finish. However, its rough surface makes it challenging to mount decorations on stucco. If you want to add a patriotic touch to your yard, you may find it difficult to screw brackets directly into stucco. Nevertheless, with the right tools, anyone can easily install flag pole brackets in just a few minutes.

Step 1

Smooth the area where you plan to install the bracket by sanding it with 150-grit sandpaper until the textured surface becomes flush enough for the bracket to fit against the wall.

Step 2

Hold the flag pole bracket against the stucco surface and position it at the desired height and location for mounting.

Step 3

Use a pencil to mark the screw holes of the bracket onto the stucco wall.

Step 4

Drill pilot holes into the stucco wall. To create a proper pilot hole, the diameter of the drill bit should be approximately 50 percent to 70 percent of the screws’ diameter.

Step 5

Securely hold the bracket in place and screw it into the wall, using the pilot holes as a guide. Once the screws are in place, the bracket is ready for use.
