Sizes of Flags

Posted in Flag Etiquette by Flag Expert on the April 20th, 2007

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:

  • If your flagpole is 20 feet high then you need to use a 4 x 6 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 40 feet high then you need to use a 6 x 10 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 50 feet high then you need to use a 8 x 12 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 60 feet high then you need to use a 10 x 15 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 70 feet high then you need to use a 12 x 18 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 90 feet high then you need to use a 15 x 25 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 125 feet high then you need to use a 20 x 30 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 200 feet high then you need to use a 30 x 40 (ft) flag.
  • If your flagpole is 250 feet high then you need to use a 40 x 50 (ft) flag.
