Sizes
of Flags
The size of the flag is determined by the exposed height of
the flagpole from which it is flying. The only consideration
is for the flag to be in proper proportion to its pole. Flags
which fly from angled poles on homes and those which are displayed
on standing poles in offices and other indoor displays are
usually either 3' x 5' or 4' x 6'. Color guards usually carry
flags measuring 4' x 6'. Other recommended sizes are shown
in the following table:
