Flags and Flag Poles

Valley Forge flags and mounting hardware: nylon American flags in 3 x 5 ft and similar sizes, 5 ft aluminum and wood poles, angled aluminum wall brackets, mounting rings and pole snap clips. Size the flag to the pole rather than the other way round — a 3 x 5 ft flag is what a 5 ft or 6 ft house pole is cut for, and an oversized flag on a short pole drags and wears at the fly end. Nylon is the standard outdoor material: it dries fast, flies in light wind and holds color, where heavier cotton needs more wind to fly and stays wet. Bracket angle sets how the flag clears the siding; rings and clips are what let the flag rotate freely instead of wrapping the pole.
