Utah State Flags

Tidmore Flags carries authentic, US-made Utah state flags featuring the 2024 beehive design in nylon and polyester, available in multiple sizes for homes, businesses, and institutions.

For a 20-foot pole, a 3x5 ft flag is standard. For a 25-foot pole, go with 4x6 ft. For 30-35 feet, use 5x8 ft. Utah's mountain areas can experience strong winds — particularly in the Salt Lake Valley and along the Wasatch Front. Size correctly for your specific location.

200-denier nylon with UV-resistant ink is the top choice for Utah's high desert and mountain locations. Utah's high altitude increases UV exposure significantly — even in winter, UV at Salt Lake City and Park City altitudes is more intense than at sea level. For the windiest Utah locations like the Wasatch Range and southern canyon country, a heavier polyester provides better durability.

Due to Utah's intense UV at high altitude, outdoor flags fade faster than in lower-elevation states. Even a quality 200-denier UV-resistant nylon flag typically lasts 6 to 10 months with daily flying in Utah. In southern Utah's canyon country like Moab and St. George, the desert UV is extreme. Bringing the flag in during high-wind events extends its life.

Yes, but the US flag must always fly on top when both are on the same pole. On separate poles of equal height, they can fly at the same level with the US flag to its own right (observer's left) and both flags the same size.

For Utah's intense outdoor conditions, a sewn Utah flag with an embroidered or appliqued beehive design is the best investment. The clean, bold beehive design of the 2024 Utah flag maintains its best appearance with a sewn construction — particularly important in Utah's high-altitude UV and wind environment.

The beehive is Utah's most enduring symbol, representing industry, hard work, and community cooperation. Early Mormon settlers adopted the beehive as a symbol of the industrious, self-sufficient community they were building in the Utah Territory. Utah has been known as the Beehive State since territorial days. The 2024 flag features a simplified, modern beehive design with a five-pointed star above it.

Use a heavy-duty aluminum or fiberglass pole with snap hooks rated for cold-temperature use. Utah's mountain communities experience sub-zero temperatures in winter — standard plastic hardware can crack. In southern Utah's canyon country, UV degradation of plastic hardware is rapid. Use stainless steel or brass fittings throughout.

For indoor ceremonial display, use a pole sleeve flag on an 8-foot pole with a base and ornament. Gold fringe is the traditional finish. Utah's new dark blue flag with the gold and white beehive design looks sharp and modern in formal settings like courtrooms, schools, and government buildings.

Retire your worn Utah flag by burning in a dignified ceremony. Utah VFW posts, American Legion chapters, and fire departments hold regular flag retirement ceremonies throughout the state.
