Size Guide

Size Inches Centimeters Best for
12"x18" 12 × 18 in 30.5 × 45.7 cm Dorm rooms, offices, desks, boats, golf carts and small display areas
2'x3' 24 × 36 in 61 × 91 cm Walls, windows, balconies, tailgate tents and smaller flagpoles
3'x5' (Most Popular) 36 × 60 in 91 × 152 cm The classic size for porches, house-mounted flagpoles and game-day displays
4'x6' 48 × 72 in 122 × 183 cm Large walls, garages, fan caves and taller flagpoles where you want a statement

Tip: measure the space or pole before you order. As a rule of thumb, the flag's long side should be no more than about a quarter to a third of the pole's height.
