Choosing the right garden flag for your space
There are 4 things to look for when choosing your garden flag.
- When selecting a garden flag for your outdoor area, consider the size of the flag in proportion to your garden. A standard garden flag size is 12.5 x 18 inches, which fits most flag stands.
- Opt for flags made from durable fade resistant fabric like polyester or nylon to withstand outdoor elements. Burlap or cotton are not ideal and will not last outside in the wind, rain and hot sun.
- Look for double-sided flags as they are visible from all angles. Prioritize quality over price, as higher-quality flags tend to last longer and maintain their vibrant colors.
- Choose a flag that fully represents your home's style. You can find flags for Cabins, Lake Homes, Beach Homes, Country Estates, Farms, Suburban and Urban...whatever your style, there's definitely a flag out there for you!
