Title: Need a new flag.
Post by: Farmer Jon on January 16, 2019, 05:34:36 PM: We have a flag on top of one of our bins about 90 ft up. It keeps getting torn up. Where can I find a good heavy duty flag that will stand up to our winds? Most flags don't last more than a couple weeks.

5x8 is what we have been getting. That's what the pole was designed for. Price doesn't really matter if it's a good quality product.

Someone makes one in ripstop, can't recall who. Personally I have warm memories of an old heavily blackened and ripped one At Geresk in the Helmand. Thing never fell.

I currently use these. Made in America. They have 5'x8' Nylon. I'm sure mine doesn't get the beating that yours will but mine lasts at least a year plus some.
