Nylon American flag<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0People always ask me what\u2019s the best outdoor American flag<\/a>?\u00a0 Well, I always answer “that depends”.\u00a0 You see each flag material works better in different environments.\u00a0 So I then ask a few more questions like:\u00a0 Where are you flying the American flag, on a flagpole? Off the side of a house, indoors outdoors, in the shade, in the open by a lake, in a field, in the city, in the country. I may also ask, how high up, how low to the ground, all these variables have effects on the flag.\u00a0 My experience, tells me that 90% of the American people can fly the nylon American flag with great results in any location. The nylon is light but strong.\u00a0 It has great fly ability in the slightest breeze and it can maintain its construction even in the strongest of winds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Polyester American flag<\/p><\/div>\n

The other 10% will do better to fly a woven 2 ply polyester American flag.\u00a0 This flag is heavy and strong.\u00a0 However, it needs a strong breeze to get it moving.\u00a0 This is perfect for large flags on larger flagpoles<\/a>, which generally get higher winds. Again location is everything.\u00a0 Both, the nylon flag and the polyester American flags<\/a> have high fade resistance capabilities (again depends on where the flag is flown).<\/p>\n

One place I would not fly a polyester American flag is off the side of\u00a0 a house or building.\u00a0 House mounted flagpoles,<\/a> which already have the flag in a flying position, risk a heavy rain soaked flag, pulling the bracket from the wall.<\/p>\n
