How To Buy An American Flag
Most American Flags are kept outdoors in some of the harshest
conditions. That's when purchasing an American Flag you have to look at some
options for quality and care. Here are some tips on what to look for when buying a flag:
Flag Fabric Choices Nylon - The most popular fabric choice for both outdoor and indoor US flags. Nylon is light and durable, stands up well to the elements, and dries quickly. Because it's light, it flies well in the slightest breeze and has a bright appearance in sunlight. Super-Tough Polyester - The best choice for extreme weather conditions or high wind areas. Ounce-for-ounce, longer wearing and heavier than nylon. Our Tough-Tex American flags are made with a special weave that has the look and feel of cotton, flies well and lasts far longer than traditional weaves. Cotton - Cotton is the traditional flag fabric, so if you're a purist, this is the fabric for you. Our Tough-Tex polyester comes close, but nothing can quite duplicate the warmth of a cotton flag. Our cotton flags are designed to withstand outdoor use, but extra care should be taken to preserve your cotton flag. What size flag do I need? The usual size of a flag used on a home kit is 3'x5'. Use the guide below as your guide for flagpoles in residential and commercial settings. Flagpole Height=20'/Flag Size=3' X 5' or 4' X 6' Flagpole Height=25'/Flag Size=5' X 8' Flagpole Height=30'-35'/Flag Size=6' X 10' Flagpole Height=40'-45'/Flag Size=8' X 12' Flagpole Height=50' Flag Size=10' X 15' Flagpole Height=60'-65'/Flag Size=10' X 19' Flagpole Height=70'-80'/Flag Size=12' X 18' Flagpole Height=90'-100'/Flag Size=20' X 38'+ Flags will often come with instructions on flag care, flag etiquette, and what dates to display the flag.
