How to Care for an Outdoor Flag

How to Care for an Outdoor Flag

A little care can help your outdoor flag look better and last longer.

Take Your Flag Down During Severe Weather

Even heavy-duty outdoor flags can experience extra wear in strong winds, thunderstorms, hail, or severe weather.

If extreme weather is expected, taking your flag down can help extend its life.

Keep Your Flag Away From Rough Surfaces

Make sure your flag does not repeatedly rub against:

  • Roofs
  • Gutters
  • Trees
  • Brick
  • Siding
  • Other rough surfaces

Constant contact can cause premature wear.

Check Your Hardware

Inspect your flagpole clips, rings, brackets, and other hardware regularly.

Damaged or worn hardware can cause unnecessary stress on the flag.

Clean Your Flag When Needed

If your flag becomes dirty, follow the care instructions listed with your specific flag.

Avoid harsh cleaning methods that may damage stitching, printing, or fabric.

Watch for Early Wear

Check the fly end and seams from time to time.

Addressing small signs of wear early may help prevent larger tears later.
