Premium Irish Shamrock Clover Flag Banner

Due to constantly changing weather conditions, these flags do not come with any kind of "life expectancy" warranty. If flown from sunrise to sunset in clear weather conditions, this flag is estimated to last approximately 180 days. Flags flown 24 hours a day will typically last one third as long. Interestingly, the bigger the flag, the shorter the life expectancy tends to be.

Strong winds and rain can cause damage to flags of many fabrics. Even all-weather flags will wear faster in these extreme weather conditions. It is therefore best to take flags down during bad weather. Regular inspections are also important to check for any damage. Larger flags (10ft x 15ft and up) need to be checked for wear at least twice a month. Many people choose to buy two flags and rotate them frequently, allowing one flag to be repaired and cleaned while the other is displayed.

Proper care is essential to extending the lifespan of your flag. It is crucial to never store a damp flag, as this can lead to mold. Instead, allow the flag to fully dry before storing it in a moisture-proof container. If the flag becomes dirty, it can be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent and left to air dry. Alternatively, the flag can be taken to a dry cleaner. Regularly washing the flag will significantly increase its lifespan.

Minor repairs can be made to the flag if they are not noticeable and the flag remains a fitting emblem. However, flags in poor condition should be retired and replaced. The positioning of the flagpole is also important, as the flag should be placed in a clear area where it won't whip against rough surfaces, branches, or anything it can potentially snag on. Maintaining the flagpole itself is crucial, as rust can stain and corrode the flag, while rough edges can cause tears.

This 12"x18" polyester flag features 4 rows of stitching, 2 grommets, and UV fade resistant technology, making it heavy-duty and wind/weather resistant.
