Polyester Outdoor Flags

Choose lasting strength and a bold, traditional look with polyester flags engineered for wind-exposed sites. 2-ply spun polyester resists fraying, holds color with UV-stable dyes, and stands up to coastal, open-plain, and high-gust locations. All the flags we sell are Made in the USA.

Materials & Finishes

Polyester (outdoor): Heavy-duty 2-ply spun polyester built for high winds and tough weather.

Nylon (outdoor): Consider nylon if you prefer lighter weight and easier flying in gentle breezes.

Indoor: Pole sleeve with optional gold fringe for ceremonies and formal spaces.

Sizes & Pole Recommendations

Design Note

Spun polyester’s rugged fibers and lock-stitched seams deliver maximum tear resistance and a classic, textured appearance. It’s heavier than nylon, so it lasts longer in wind but needs a bit more breeze to fly fully.

FAQs

Polyester or nylon?
Choose polyester for high-wind, coastal, or always-on displays. Choose nylon if you want easy flying in lighter winds.

What size fits a 20-ft pole?
3' × 5' is standard; 4' × 6' adds extra presence for open sites.

Will polyester fade?
All outdoor fabrics fade over time, but UV-stable dyes and heavier yarns help polyester hold color longer in harsh sun.

Made in the USA?
Yes—All polyester flags in this collection are USA-made.
