This is a nylon U.S. Military MIL-SPEC United States Garrison Flag. The same Flag flown by U.S. Armed Forces around the world. This Flag is a Presidential Executive Order 10834 Flag. And comes with MIL-SPEC stitching.
The perfect size Flagpole for a Garrison Flag is 70': 80': or 100' tall.
ApexFlags.com President's Note:
As owner of ApexFlags.com, the nylon Garrison Flag is my favorite large U.S. Flag. The nylon Garrison Flag takes flight in almost any wind, and fights through the major gales.
The huge 14.78-inch pointed Stars shimmer when in flight. Glinting and glistening. True old glory red, white, and blue. The most beautiful and powerful U.S. Flag in the world.
For you large U.S. Flag flyers, enough cannot be said about how much of a serious "look" difference the nylon 10834 U.S. Garrison Flag is to other 20-foot high U.S. Flags. The Flag literally command presence when flying. A nylon Garrison Flag when backlit by the sun at an intersection, will litterly back traffic up at times due to the immense effect the nylon U.S. Garrison Flag has over Americans.
You can fly a 20' x 38' U.S. Garrison Flag from anything between a 60-foot Flagpole like many military installation, all the way up to a 150' Flagpole.
People often wonder what is the perfect size U.S. Flag for a certain sized U.S. Flagpole. The answer is whatever looks best to you the decision maker. Me personally, I like a smaller ratio U.S. Flag flying. Some of my clients like a larger ratio. The ratio is a Flag's hoist height to total hoist of the Flagpole. For example a 20' x 38' U.S. Garrison Flag flying from an 80' Aluminum Flagpole is a 25% ratio. Where my personal 2.37' x 4.5' MIL SPEC U.S. Flag flying from my 20-foot Flagpole is a 16% ratio.
In the wilderness of Idaho my small U.S. Flag looks large. But when near buildings I recommend 20%+ Flag to Flagpole hoists ratios. Over 30% and your fly might start to drag the ground at half mast. Also consider the Flag fly length to Flagpole hoist height factors.
Longer MIL SPEC U.S. Flags hang lower at rest. So with an 80' Flagpole your fly would be about 40' off the ground. Half the Flagpole height. What is nice about the 1:1.9 ratio U.S. Flag is that it covers more pole at rest and looks perfect in flight.
