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:
Suggested Flag Size in Relation to Flagpole Height:
Exposed Flagpole Height | Recommended Flag Size |
20' | 3' x 5' |
25' | 4' x 6' |
30' | 5' x 8' |
35' | 6' x 10' |
