Question 6

Are your flags made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All of our American flags are proudly made in the USA. We also carry a selection of imported flags for certain specialty items, which are clearly marked on our product pages.

Question 7

What size flag do I need?

Accepted Answer

Flag size depends on your flagpole height. As a general rule: 20ft pole = 3x5ft flag, 25ft pole = 4x6ft flag, 30ft pole = 5x8ft flag. Check our size guide for detailed recommendations.

Question 8

How tall should a residential flagpole be?

Accepted Answer

Residential flagpoles typically range from 20 to 30 feet. A 20-foot pole suits smaller yards and single-story homes, while 25 feet is the most popular choice for standard suburban homes. If you have a large yard or want maximum visibility from the street, a 30-foot pole is ideal.

Question 9

What types of flagpoles do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer residential aluminum flagpoles, commercial aluminum flagpoles, and telescoping flagpoles. Each is designed for durability and easy installation, with options ranging from 20 to 50 feet.

Question 10

What flag size should I fly on my flagpole?

Accepted Answer

Flag size should be proportional to your flagpole height. For a 20-foot pole, use a 4x6 foot flag. For a 25-foot pole, a 4x6 or 5x8 foot flag is recommended. A 30-foot pole looks best with a 5x8 foot flag, and a 35-foot pole pairs well with a 6x10 foot flag.

Question 11

How do I care for my flag?

Accepted Answer

To extend flag life: bring in during severe weather, wash gently with mild soap when dirty, and replace when frayed. Nylon flags can be machine washed on gentle; cotton flags should be hand washed.

Question 12

What's the difference between nylon and polyester flags?

Accepted Answer

Nylon flags are lightweight, dry quickly, and fly in light winds—ideal for residential use. Polyester flags are heavier and more durable—best for high-wind areas and commercial use.

Question 13

Can a flagpole withstand high winds?

Accepted Answer

Our aluminum flagpoles are engineered to withstand winds up to 95 mph or more, depending on the model. During extreme weather events like hurricanes, we recommend lowering your flag and, if possible, removing the pole from the ground sleeve as a precaution.

Question 14

What is your return policy?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 30-day return policy on unused items in original packaging. Custom or personalized items cannot be returned. Shipping costs for returns are the customer's responsibility unless the item is defective.

Question 15

Do your products come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our flagpoles come with a 5-year shaft warranty against manufacturing defects. Flags carry a 90-day warranty for defects. Weather damage is not covered under warranty.

Question 16

How do I start a return?

Accepted Answer

Contact our customer service team via email or phone with your order number. We'll provide a return authorization and instructions. Returns without authorization may be refused.

Question 17

Do you offer installation services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer professional flagpole installation throughout Central Ohio, including Columbus and surrounding suburbs. Our team handles everything from concrete footing to hardware and final pole raising. Visit our Installation page for pricing and service areas.

Question 18

Can I install a flagpole myself?

Accepted Answer

Most residential flagpoles (30ft and under) can be installed by a handy homeowner with basic tools. Our house-mounted poles are especially DIY-friendly. Ground-sleeve poles may require digging and concrete work.

Question 19

How do I install a residential flagpole?

Accepted Answer

Each flagpole comes with detailed installation instructions. You can also view our installation guide on our Instructions page. Most residential flagpoles can be installed in a few hours with basic tools. You will need to dig a foundation hole, set a ground sleeve in concrete, and allow it to cure before inserting the pole.

Question 20

How deep should the hole be for a flagpole?

Accepted Answer

The hole depth should be approximately 10% of the total flagpole height plus 6 inches for a gravel drainage base. For a 20-foot or 25-foot pole, dig about 2.5 feet deep. For a 30-foot pole, dig about 3 feet deep. The hole should be roughly 18-24 inches in diameter.

Question 21

What tools do I need for installation?

Accepted Answer

Requirements vary by pole type. Telescoping poles typically need only basic hand tools. In-ground poles may require post-hole digger, level, concrete mix, and assistance from a helper.

Question 22

Do you offer military and first responder discounts?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We proudly offer discounts to active military, veterans, and first responders. Contact our team by phone or email to learn more.
