FAQs about American Flag + Kentucky Flags
What materials are best for American Flag + Kentucky flags?
Kentucky flag material guide: Choose 200-denier nylon in valleys and suburbs—it flies easily and stays bright—while 2-ply woven polyester suits ridge tops and exposed farms. For storm seasons, look for a reinforced canvas header, brass grommets, lock-stitched seams, and extra fly-end stitching. Expect nylon to look crisp 3–6 months with regular use; polyester often lasts longer where winds are frequent. Tip: rotate a spare and lower ahead of severe fronts.
