Heavy Duty Polyester Flag Size and Mounting Recommendations
- 2x3’ – A smaller flag size for 5' flagpoles. Also found on large boats and RVs.
- 2.5x4’ – Ideal for 5' house-mounted poles, such as our 5' spinning pole.
- 3x5’ – The most popular flag size, commonly used on 6' house-mounted poles or in-ground poles up to 20' tall.
- 4x6’ – Traditionally used on in-ground flagpoles that are 25' tall.
- 5x8’ – Designed for use on in-ground flagpoles that are 30' tall.
- 5x9.5’ – Primarily used for folding and displaying in American flag cases.
- 6x10’ – Suited for in-ground flagpoles between 35' and 40' tall.
- 8x12’ – Properly sized for flagpoles between 40' and 50' tall.
- 10x15’ – Designed for flagpoles ranging from 50' to 60' tall.
- 12x18’ – Best suited for flagpoles between 60' and 75' tall.
- 10x19’ or 12x18’ – Correct flag size for flagpoles between 60' and 75' tall.
- For larger flag sizes, refer to this chart. If you're unsure of the right size, feel free to contact us for assistance in selecting the perfect American flag.
- Pole sleeve and tab options – Best suited for house-mounted poles without grommet attachment capabilities. Also commonly used on indoor flagpoles where a pole sleeve is required.
- Header and grommet style – The most popular method of attaching flags, used on both house-mounted and in-ground poles. Typically made of brass and connected via snap clips or plastic grommet rings, such as those found on our rotating spinning pole.
- "D" Ring style – Found on some 8x12' and larger flags, these durable metal rings are designed for attaching larger snap clips to support heavier fabric.
- Rope and thimble – Used on some 8x12' and larger flags, these strong metal thimbles attach to larger snap clips, with a reinforced rope sewn into the header to provide extra strength when flown.
Use our Flag and Grommet Size Chart to determine the appropriate number of grommets for your heavy-duty polyester flag.

Denise Peloquin asks Sep 7, 2024
How does the 3x5 Steadfast polyester flag differ from the 3x5 Gettysburg polyester flag?
Gettysburg Flag answers Sep 9, 2024
Hello! Great question. Our branded Steadfast poly flag is made with reinforced stitching and a heavier thread.
Be assured, they are both great flags and will have a similar life span.- Only registered users can write comments. Please Sign in or Create an account

Nick Lydon asks Jun 24, 2024
How does this flag compare to your Steadfast® Polyester flag? I can't tell which one I should get.
Gettysburg Flag answers Jun 24, 2024
The good news is, both flags are fantastic choices and you can't really go wrong with either option. The main difference between the two is that the Steadfast Polyester flag has additional reinforcement at the fly-end. This is known as the x-box stitching that people love having on their flags now! The Steadfast is also made with a thicker thread, making the stitching tougher for longer!

Do your American flags come with any warranties or guarantees?
Gettysburg Flag answers Jun 24, 2024
Unfortunately, we can't guarantee performance of our flags because they experience a vast array of elements when out on your pole! However, if you are upset by the performance of your flag, please reach out to us so we can get to the bottom of it and make it right!

John asks Apr 14, 2024
What would the cost be for a 6x10 American flag, heavy duty polyester with 4 grommets? This flag flys in a very windy area and the flag pole has been configured to accommodate a flag with 4 grommet attachments. Also, is this flag the most durable for wind conditions. Thank you.
Gettysburg Flag answers Apr 15, 2024
Hello! We charge $3.00 per extra grommet or $10.00 per extra grommet reinforced with extra material. You would need 2 extra grommets. Our suggestion is the Steadfast Heavy Duty Poly flag, a 6x10' is $159. Please give us a call at 1-888-697-3524 if you would like to place an order with extra grommets.

- Quality MadeQuality100%Value80%I was looking for a quality made American Flag that was 4 ft x 2.5ft in size and very few companies offered that size and the few that did were made with their lower quality materials. This heavy duty polyester flag from the Gettysburg Flag is just what I was looking for. When I received the flag, I was very pleased with the quality of the material and overall workmanship.

- Great beautiful flagQuality100%Value100%This flag is now flying by my front door and it is beautiful. We live by salt water and most flags wear down but I'm thinking this one will last a good long time. Love that it's made in USA! I'm fiercely Independent (not Dem or Rep) and love America. Nice to show it this way. Thanks for making such a great product! :)

- BeautifulQuality100%Value100%We love this beautiful flag and it is a great addition to the front of our house where it is displayed proudly. Unlike many cheap flags it is properly proportioned. Most inexpensive flags look "off" and I finally realized it is because the are improperly sized: the size of the union is disproportionate to the length and height of the stripes. As soon as we unfurled this flag it was obvious that it was correctly designed. Of course, it's made in the USA which was a must. Highly recommended.

- USA made!!Quality100%Value100%This flag appears to be really well made, extra stitching where needed. It has been very windy here. Up to 50 mph gusts and a steady 20 mph plus average. I lowered the flag yesterday and saw no signs of any damage.

- Great Flag!Quality100%Value100%I purchased two of these flags in my first order. My order showed up quickly, and without incident. This flag is proudly flown on a 40ft pole, and lasted for just over a year. Considering I never take it down unless we have a high wind advisory issued for our area, I would say you would be hard pressed to find a better quality flag. Worth every penny!
