FAQ
• Nylon – the “everyday” material for flags both indoors and outdoors. Nylon is a lightweight, yet durable material, and dries quickly.
• 2-ply Polyester – the “strongest” material available for outdoors. Made from a 2-ply, open weave, spun synthetic material which proves extremely durable outdoors.
• Poly – the “economy” material. Lightweight which allows for perfect flying
We recommend adding vertical stitching and reinforced corners to all flags 8x12’ and larger.
Watch for signs of fraying. Flags can be trimmed and re-hemmed to help prolong the life of the flag. Most outdoor flags can be hand washed with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use a machine dryer to dry your flag, instead lay it flat to air dry. You can also check with your local dry-cleaner, many will dry-clean your American flag for free.

• Galvanized Steel Flagpole – available exclusively to customers local to Altoona, PA. Stainless steel and cast aluminum components of a spun aluminum flagpole, with galvanized steel for the shaft. Great residential flagpole for durability.

The depth of a flagpole foundation is determined by the height of the pole, or simply 10% of the flagpole. (For example: a 35ft flagpole will require a hole 3-1/2ft deep, a 40ft flagpole will require a hole 4ft deep)
The width of a flagpole foundation is determined by the butt diameter of the pole times 4-6 inches. (For example: a 4 inch butt diameter flagpole will need a 16-24inch tapered hole.
