Choosing the best American flag online can be a confusing task. Our 45 years of experience guiding customers to the best material for their location and size flag for their flagpole has allowed us to provide the information in the chart below.

The following chart can be used as a general guide to help you choose the proper flag size based on the type and size flagpole you have. For example, if your flagpole is 25’ tall you can fly up to a 4’ x 6’ American flag.
A canvas header and grommets hoist end is standard on all of our American flags up to a 6’ x 10’ size. The canvas header provides durability, while the brass grommets allow your flag to be fastened to your flagpole using snap hooks or plastic ties. A header and grommet flag is used for in-ground flagpoles as well as some home flag display sets.
A roped heading is standard for flags measuring 8’ x 12’ or larger. It features a nylon rope running through the length of the canvas header with reinforced galvanized metal thimbles at the top and bottom.
An unlined pole sleeve is traditionally used for outdoor flag display sets and will easily slide over a 1” diameter pole commonly mounted outside at a 45 degree angle on homes and buildings. This American banner-like flag features a tab inside the top of the sleeve for easy attachment to your pole.
Flags featuring gold fringe are traditionally used for parades and indoor displays like classrooms, lobbies, courtrooms and more. Our indoor and parade U.S. flags feature a fully lined pole sleeve and gold fringe around the top, fly end, and bottom edges giving it an upscale, classic appearance. Easily match your American indoor flag set with our indoor state, military, religious and international flags featuring gold fringe.
According to Government specifications, a flag, regardless of its material, flown from sunup to sundown should last at least 60-90 days. Some of our customers have claimed that our flags have lasted as long as six months to a year, but this is dependent on choosing the right material based on your weather conditions.
