FLAGS & FLAG ETIQUETTE

What size flag should I buy?

Flagpoles under 20’ we recommend a 3’x5’ flag.

Flagpoles between 20’ – 25’ we recommend a 4’x6’ flag.

Flagpoles 30’ we recommend a 5’x8’ flag.

Flagpoles 35’ we recommend a 6’x10’ flag.

Flagpoles between 40’ - 45’ we recommend 8’x12’ flag.

Flagpoles 50’ we recommend 10’x15’ flag.

 

You can shift these sizes up or down based on personal preference.  There is no code of ethics to the size on the pole as long as the flag never touches the ground.

Can I fly other flags on the same flagpole?

Yes, however make sure your USA flag flies above all other flags and is equivalent or larger in size than flags flown below.

How do I dispose of an American flag properly?

We offer disposal services!  Simply drop off your tattered and damaged flag to our retail location 1020 North Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33432 during open business hours.  If you are unable to drop by during store hours, please leave the flag in the mailbox located in our parking lot behind the building.  As well, feel free to mail in the damaged flag to the above address including a note ordering us to dispose.

How long should a flag last?

There are many factors that can affect the life of a flag. Timeline can vary anywhere from as short as 4-6 months during windy and storm seasons up to closer to 12 months. Warranty is on premature fading. 

Can you get a flag I don't see online?

In most cases, yes. We work with major flag manufacturers and suppliers and can source many flags that may not be listed online. Contact us with what you're looking for and we'll be happy to help.

When should a flag be flown at half-staff?

During times of crisis the president or local/state officials can order flags to be flown at half-mast.  We encourage all Patriots to lower the flag during these times out of respect for our nation.
