Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Vermont State Flags state flag β including history, display rules, sizing, and where to buy.
Tidmore Flags carries authentic, US-made Vermont state flags 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. Vermont's Green Mountains and exposed ridge locations can experience extreme winds β size conservatively and use a heavy-duty pole rated for New England mountain conditions.
For Vermont's harsh mountain climate, heavy-duty polyester is the top recommendation. Vermont's winters are among the harshest in the continental US β heavy snow, ice storms, sub-zero cold, and strong mountain winds are common across the state. Polyester maintains flexibility in extreme cold and handles ice accumulation better than standard nylon.
Vermont's harsh winters with heavy snow, ice storms, and extreme cold mean even a quality heavy-duty flag flown daily typically lasts 4 to 9 months. Never leave any flag out during an ice storm β the weight of ice accumulation tears fabric and destroys grommets. Vermont's short but intense summer weather with strong mountain thunderstorms also accelerates wear.
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 Vermont's demanding mountain climate, a sewn Vermont flag is essential. The detailed coat of arms with the pine tree, cow, wheat sheaves, and deer head requires quality embroidered or screen-printed construction on durable fabric to maintain appearance against Vermont's harsh winters and mountain weather.
Vermont's state motto reflects the tension and balance between individual liberty and community responsibility β a defining tension in Vermont's independent character. Vermont was the first state admitted after the original 13 colonies and was briefly an independent republic before joining the Union in 1791, reinforcing its tradition of independence.
In Vermont, use stainless steel or brass hardware throughout β standard aluminum hardware corrodes and standard plastic cracks in Vermont's freeze-thaw cycles. Use snap hooks and halyard rope rated for below-zero temperatures. Set ground poles below Vermont's frost line, which reaches 48 to 60 inches in most of the state.
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. Vermont's blue flag with the green and tan coat of arms looks sharp in formal settings like courtrooms, schools, and government buildings.
Retire your worn Vermont flag by burning in a dignified ceremony. Vermont VFW posts, American Legion chapters, and fire departments hold regular flag retirement ceremonies throughout the state.
