Outdoor American Flag Size Guide
Use this simple guide to match your outdoor U.S. flag size with your flagpole height:
| Flagpole Height | Recommended Flag Size | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 10–15 ft | 2.5' x 4' or 3' x 5' | Homes, porches, small yards |
| 20 ft | 3' x 5' or 4' x 6' | Residential or light commercial |
| 25 ft | 4' x 6' or 5' x 8' | Schools, offices, large properties |
| 30–35 ft | 5' x 8' or 6' x 10' | Municipal or commercial buildings |
| 40–50 ft | 8' x 12' or larger | Government and institutional sites |
