Our American Nylon Outdoor Flag Starter Kit Features
- Reinforced Stitching
Reinforced fly end construction helps extend the life of the flag in real-world conditions. A double-fold hem with four rows of lock-stitched seams reduces fraying and edge wear, while box-stitched corners strengthen high-stress points where tearing typically starts. The result is a flag that holds up longer in wind, maintains a clean appearance, and delivers better long-term value.
- Reinforced Canvas Header
A canvas header adds strength and stability to a flag by reinforcing the edge that bears the most stress. It helps the flag hold its shape, prevents tearing around the grommets, and ensures a secure, long-lasting attachment to the flagpole—especially in regular outdoor use.
- Brass Grommets
2 solid brass flag grommets with tooth washers provide a strong, secure attachment point that helps prevent tearing at the hoist edge. Built to withstand repeated movement and wind stress, they allow the flag to fly freely while reducing fabric wear. The result is a cleaner display, smoother raising and lowering, and a longer-lasting flag that performs reliably in outdoor conditions.
- FMAA Certified - Made in the USA
FMAA-certified flags carry a serialized ‘Certified Made in U.S.A.’ seal that verifies U.S. materials, U.S. labor, and truthful labeling. It’s your assurance of authentic origin, consistent workmanship, and dependable performance for daily flying.
FAQs about U.S. American Flags
What materials are best for U.S. American flags?
Nylon is ideal for porch-mounted flags because it’s lightweight enough to fly in light breezes, dries quickly after rain, and puts less stress on 1" brackets and wood poles while staying bright and durable outdoors.
What size U.S. American flag should I buy?
2x3 works best for 5 to 6ft porch flagpoles. 3×5 on 20ft in ground flagpoles; 4×6 on 25′ for flagpole for extra presence.
How long will this U.S. American flag last?
Outdoor lifespan depends on wind and sun. In windy or coastal areas, polyester usually outlasts nylon. Rotate a spare and trim early frays to extend life..
Can I wash my U.S. American flag?
Yes. Most nylon and polyester flags can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry fully before reuse.
What’s unique about the U.S. American flag design?
The U.S. flag has a blue canton with 50 white stars and 13 horizontal stripes (7 red, 6 white), symbolizing the 50 states and the original 13 colonies.
Any special protocol for displaying U.S. American flags?
