Too big for a hand flag, too small for the flagpole in front of your home? This flag size is picture-perfect as a garden flag. Some consumers also take them to sporting events to show their support, while being courteous of others. Example of the 2x3 ft American flag.

3x5 ft Flag

This dimension is the most common flag size for flagpoles for display in front of homes, businesses, or companies. Of course, you should first check if the flagpole matches the flag before ordering. Usually, a flagpole of 20 ft. is suitable for a flag of this size. If you happen to live in an area famous for its strong gusts and gales, or other extreme weather conditions, the 3x5 ft polyester U.S. flag is most suitable.
 

Due to the weather conditions, it's best to hang it on a 20' commercial or architectural-grade flagpole. Also, this polyester flag is heavy-weight and comes equipped with reinforced canvas headings and two brass grommets.
 

Similarly, our Beacon 3x5 ft Nylon American Flag is ideal for light-wind areas and a very popular choice.
 

4x6 ft Flag

You have probably seen flags of this size on fire trucks, sailboats, or on display against gym walls. If you have a 25' flagpole or taller, you have likely already purchased a flag of this size. The nylon 4x6 ft is lightweight and helps the flag to fly high even in a light breeze.
  

If you live in more challenging weather stability conditions, we recommend going for our high-quality 4x6 ft Patriarch® polyester U.S. flag. Bearing in mind the winds, it's best if the flagpole does not exceed 25' in height (even 20' is suitable).
  

5x8 ft Flag

This size is perfect for flagpoles that are 30' - 35' tall. The flags of this size are usually seen in high school gyms. Our 5x8 ft Nylon flag is suitable for a wall-mounted flagpole or an outrigger.
  

Also, we have these flags in polyester fabric.  

6x10 ft Flag

If you want to go big and have enough space in your yard to install a 35' to 45' tall flagpole, you must purchase a nylon 6x10 ft outdoor U.S. flag. In addition, we have seen our flags of this size hung in different auditoriums.  

The 6x10 ft polyester U.S. flags are excellent for outdoor display for changeable and harsh weather conditions. The flagpole should be about 35' or 40' tall.  

Bonus: G-Spec US Flag

We also offer government specification flags in different dimensions, ranging from 2' 4 7/16" x 4' 6" to 10' x 19'. The flag ratio in the United States is 1:1.9, though it does vary in foreign countries.
  

You can find them in two materials: cotton and nylon. Both materials are top quality (two-ply mercerized cotton and industrial strength nylon), so you needn't worry about them getting frayed or that colors will fade sooner than later. We recommend using nylon flags for outdoor display as they are more durable and much lighter. As for the indoor display, it's completely up to your personal preferences.
