A flag pole can add charm to any lawn or business building. Where you place the flag pole depends on several different variables. Some flags require different etiquette than others, which can be an important issue when you choose the right location for your flag pole.

What Type of Flag Will be Flown

If you are planning to fly a flag that is purely decorative or shows your support for your favorite school, it really does not matter where you place the flag pole. Since there are no rules for where and how you fly a school or decorative flag, you are free to be as creative as you like. If you intend to fly the American flag, however, there are several things that need to be considered. The American flag has many rules attached to flying it that can be very important. Even if you do not care for the rules of flying the flag, the people who view your flag may be incredibly insulted if you break the rules.

Accessibility

Make sure your flag is easy to get to. Even decorative and school flags become faded and ragged after they have been flown for a long time. You will need to be able to pull the flag down and replace it as often as you like. The American flag needs to be taken down during inclement weather. It should also be brought down every evening unless it is lighted properly. Traditional flag convention holds that the American flag should not be flown at night in front of a residence or business location.

Lighting

If you do not think you will be able to manage bringing the American flag in every evening, you can still fly your flag without breaking any etiquette rules. Simply place your flag pole in an area where you can shine a light directly on the flag after dark. If the flag is properly illuminated from dusk to dawn it simulates the sun, which keeps everyone happy. Flying a flag in the dark of night is considered a taboo by those who adhere carefully to the national rules for flying the American flag on civilian soil.
