Tips for Choosing the Right Flag Size
- Outdoor flag length should be about ¼ to ⅓ the height of your flagpole.
- Ensure adequate clearance from trees, buildings, or power lines.
- Use nylon flags for light to moderate winds and polyester flags for high-wind areas.
- Larger flags exert more stress on poles—always confirm your pole’s wind rating.
