Reclaimed teak from two different batches was used for the ring retainers and the finial. Despite both being from the same species, the teak used for the ring retainers turned a deep dark brown, whereas the finial finished to a more mid-century orange tone. The teak components are attached to the pole using both epoxy and brass screws to ensure long-term durability when exposed to the elements.

The most difficult aspect of this design was perfecting the anti-furl action. The brass rings that are captured on the teak roundels are intended to allow the flag to freely swing about the pole without furling itself. Initially, the flag was attached to the rings on the flag pole by a single split brass ring, so that the base of the flag was pulled taught. However, the flag would repeatedly furl itself around the pole. Adding a second rind to each end of the flag improved the furling performance somewhat, but the flag would still need to be manually unfurled at least once a week. Adding a third ring to each end of the flag solved the problem, so that the flag now unfurls by itself with no need for manual unfurling.
