Height
-
Although flagpoles come in various sizes, a 20-foot or 25-foot flagpole is always longer than 20 or 25 feet because the flagpole must be firmly anchored in the ground and there is extra length to a flagpole to allow for a solid base.
Base
-
A flagpole should have 10 percent of its total height underground. Therefore, if a flagpole is 20 feet high, a ground sleeve at least 2 feet in length must be cemented to the ground.

Small-Home Flagpoles
-
The most normal home flagpoles are 15 or 20 feet high. These are often displayed in front yards or gardens with a 3-foot by 5-foot flag attached.
Large-Home Flagpoles
-
A 25-foot flagpole is the largest customary home flagpole. This size of flagpole is able to handle a 4-foot by 6-foot flag.
Other Flagpoles
-
Business and other public buildings are allowed to display larger flagpoles, and thus, larger flags. A 35-foot flagpole can display a 6-foot by 10-foot flag, and a 65 foot flagpole can display a 10-foot by 15-foot or 10-foot by 19-foot flag.
