FAQs about American Flag + New York Flags
What materials are best for American Flag + New York flags?
New York flag material guide: Choose 200-denier nylon for upstate suburbs—vivid color and easy flight—while 2-ply woven polyester fits Atlantic/Long Island shore, Great Lakes fronts, and city rooftops. Ensure a reinforced header, brass grommets, lock-stitching, and extra fly-end. Nylon: 3–6 months; polyester often lasts longer with marine winds. Tip: rotate and lower in gale forecasts.
