Sentence Structure

My question concerns what I think would fall under possesiveness. I would like an experts opinion with possibly an example. The question under consideration follows:

Cubby and flag sets are not allowed after the close of lynx season.

Does the above sentence indicate "Cubby and flag" together or either "Cubby" and "Flag" seperately?

What do you call the "s" after "sets"?

Could someone give some examples of how to construct this sentence if we wanted to mean "Cubby or flag"?

Would "Cubby and flag set are not allowed after the close of lynx season." be correct grammar?

Thanks very much for your help, Sherpa
