Q: What's the most wind a feather flag can withstand?A: Our flags can withstand up to a wind force of 11 - 12 or 72-82 mph. Our poles are made to be flexible in the most severe weather conditions.
Q: It can be very windy where I'm located, do you have any recommendations for the wind in my area?A: Our flags are durable enough for most areas. If your area is very windy and prone to hurricanes we recommend our feather flags. We also offer several options for specialty bases. Such as a heavy duty metal square base, plastic water base, ground drill base and more.
Q: Does the shape and size of the flag matter regarding wind speed?A:Yes, the bigger your flag, the more wind damage they will experience. Teardrop flags are the most susceptible to wind damage, due it its shape versus the wind. While our feather flags can withstand the most wind force.
Q: Does single or double sided effect the durability of the poles?A: While our Double-Sided flags are very durable, due to 3 layer construction, they may cause the poles to bend more due to its weight. Single-sided flag banners are lighter in weight, and can endure more pressure from the wind.
