Indoor staffs
-
Indoor military flagstaffs are generally seven to nine feet in length. A pole topper such as an Army spear adds another seven inches to the staff. This type of staff normally carries a 3 x 5 or a 4 x 6 flag.
Outdoor home staffs
-
A 3 x 5 foot flag offers an excellent flag size for a home display. A 15-foot pole would handle a military flag of that size.

Public building staffs
-
Generally, 20 to 25 feet in length works well for public building flagstaffs. This staff would carry a 4 x 6-foot or a 5 x 8-foot flag.
Memorial gardens and monuments
-
Generally, large flagstaffs provide a focal point for a memorial garden or monument. A larger pole would carry a larger flag. For example, a 30 to 35-foot pole would need a 6 x 10-foot flag.
Building mounted staffs
-
These staffs provide a focal point and display when the ground space does not allow for a traditional flagpole. Although a small staff, the pole should carry a 3 x 5-foot military flag. The staff mount should angle so that the flag does not touch the ground.
