FAQs about American Flag + Minnesota Flags
What materials are best for American Flag + Minnesota flags?
Minnesota flag material guide: Choose 200-denier nylon in neighborhoods—vivid color and easy flying—while 2-ply woven polyester suits prairie, lakeshore, and winter wind belts. Choose a reinforced header, brass grommets, lock-stitching, and extra fly-end. Nylon stays crisp 3–6 months; polyester lasts longer in frequent gusts. Tip: rotate and lower during blizzard advisories.
