American Flag Pole Standards

My parents are thinking about putting up a flagpole in their yard we will have to consider this when choosing the location.

American flag pole standards.

The american flag should be at the center and the highest point when displayed with a group of state flags. The state flag is flown in the middle. As you mentioned you should not allow the flag to be enveloped in darkness. Flag is flown on the highest pole in the middle with the state flag to the left and the company flag to the right again based on facing the display on approach.

Maintain your flagpole program. It should not be flown lower than another flag nor should it be smaller than another flag flown in the same display. Make sure to place your flagpole in a place where it can get some ambient lighting at night if you do not plan to take the flag down every night. Flagpoles of these heights typically can fly flags up to 5x8 ft although due to the pole s lightweight residential style a smaller flag which would cause less stress on the pole due to wind is suggested.

Flag takes precedence over all other flags when flown within the united states. The flag when displayed with another against a wall both from crossed staffs should be on the right the flag s own right and its staff should be in front of the other staff. The fundamental rule of flag etiquette is. The company or other flag is placed on the righthand pole.
