FAQs about American Flag + West Virginia Flags
What materials are best for American Flag + West Virginia flags?
West Virginia flag material guide: Choose 200-denier nylon in hollows and valleys—vivid, easy flying—while 2-ply woven polyester suits ridge tops and exposed overlooks. Specify a reinforced canvas header, brass grommets, lock-stitching, and extra fly-end stitching. Nylon looks crisp 3–6 months; polyester often lasts longer on windy ridges. Tip: rotate and lower for storm fronts.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3′ × 5′ | 15–20 ft | 2′ × 3′ or 3′ × 5′* | 3′ × 5′ | State ≤ U.S. |
| 4′ × 6′ | 20–25 ft | 3′ × 5′ | 4′ × 6′ | Equal OK on separate poles |
