Flag and Flagpole Selection Guide

A few pointers to help you in choosing the right flagpole and flag for your application:

As a general rule, flag length should be 1/4 to 1/3 height of pole.
When more than one flag is to be flown on a single pole, choose a larger pole. Top flag should be no larger than is recommended in chart. The second flag should be one size smaller than top flag.
The proper capacity of a pole must be appropriate to your geographic region taking into consideration your regions' wind velocity. (see chart below)
