Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Virginia State Flags state flag — including history, display rules, sizing, and where to buy.
Tidmore Flags carries authentic, US-made Virginia state flags in nylon and polyester, available in multiple sizes for homes, businesses, schools, and government buildings.
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. Virginia's Tidewater coast and Chesapeake Bay areas experience strong winds and salt air — size correctly and use quality marine-grade hardware in coastal locations.
Nylon is the best all-around choice for most of Virginia. For Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake Bay Tidewater areas where salt air, Atlantic storms, and nor'easters are regular threats, a heavier polyester flag handles the coastal environment better. For the Shenandoah Valley and Appalachian Virginia, standard nylon works well.
A quality nylon Virginia flag flown daily typically lasts 6 to 12 months. Tidewater Virginia and the Virginia Beach oceanfront are particularly demanding environments — salt air and nor'easters accelerate wear. The Appalachian areas of southwest Virginia get ice storms in winter that are also hard on flags.
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.
A sewn Virginia flag is the better investment. The Virginia state seal with Virtus standing over the defeated tyrant is a detailed design that requires quality embroidered or appliqued construction to maintain accuracy and color in Virginia's variable climate from the Tidewater coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Sic Semper Tyrannis is Latin for Thus Always to Tyrants. It is Virginia's state motto and reflects the state's revolutionary spirit — Virginia was home to more of the Founding Fathers than any other state, including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. The motto accompanies the image of the goddess Virtus standing triumphant over a defeated tyrant.
For Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake Bay locations, marine-grade stainless steel or brass hardware is essential — salt air corrodes standard aluminum quickly. For inland Virginia, standard aluminum hardware is appropriate. Set ground poles below Virginia's frost line — 24 to 36 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. Virginia's blue flag with the detailed state seal has a long tradition of prominent ceremonial display in Virginia's courthouses, capitol buildings, schools, and government offices.
Retire your worn Virginia flag by burning in a dignified ceremony. Virginia VFW posts, American Legion chapters, and fire departments hold regular flag retirement ceremonies throughout the Commonwealth.
