Heavy Duty Polyester Flag Size and Mounting Recommendations

• 2x3’ - A smaller flag size usually used on large boats, RV’s or small flag poles
• 2.5x4’ - Best used on 5’ house mounted poles like our 5’ spinning pole

• 4x6’ - Traditionally used on 25' tall in-ground flagpoles
• 5x8’ - Made for use on 30' tall in-ground flag poles
• 5x9.5’ - This flag size is primarily folded in American flag cases
• 6x10’ - Made for use on 35' - 40' tall in-ground flagpoles
• 8x12’ - The correct sizing for flagpoles between 40’ and 50’

• Pole sleeve and tab options - Usually best for house mounted poles that do not have grommet attachment capabilities. Also used on indoor flag poles where a pole sleeve is necessary.
• Header and Grommet style - This is the most popular way to attach a flag and is used on house mounted poles and in-ground flag poles. Generally made of brass and connected via snap clip or plastic grommet rings like our rotating spinning pole.
• ”D” Ring style - Found on some 8x12’ & larger flags, these more durable metal rings attach to larger sized snap clips due to the increased weight of fabric
• Rope and Thimble - Found on some 8x12’ & larger flags, these more durable metal thimbles attach to larger sized snap clips. A piece of rope is sewn into the header along the pole side of the flag to lend additional strength to the flag when flown
