Home Sweet Home Festive 4th Of July Garden

This flag is made from 100% polyester, which handles light outdoor display well. It's fine for weekends, events, and occasional flying. For continuous 24/7 outdoor display, expect the colors to start fading after 3–5 months of direct daily sun — polyester has less UV resistance than nylon. If you plan to fly it year-round outdoors, take it inside on windy or stormy days. The fabric is fade-resistant, which slows but does not stop UV degradation over time.

This flag has a pole sleeve (also called a header sleeve) along the left edge instead of grommets. Slide your flagpole through the sleeve from bottom to top. A standard ⅝–¾ inch diameter pole fits most sleeve flags. The sleeve style is common on smaller desk and parade flags and gives a cleaner look without visible hardware.

The flag is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink directly into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. This is a double-sided flag — both sides are printed, so the design is visible from either direction. Colors are accurate to the official flag specification. Note that on double-sided flags, each side is a separate printed panel sewn together, so there is a slight seam down the middle when held up to strong light — this is normal construction, not a defect.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent — avoid bleach, which degrades the polyester fibers and strips the color. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat causes polyester to pill and shrink slightly. Do not wring — lay flat or hang to dry. If storing for a season, fold loosely rather than stuffing tightly, which causes permanent crease lines in the fabric.

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. Items need to be in the same condition they arrived — if you put it up outside for a week, it is not eligible for return, but if you unpack it and decide it is not what you expected, that is covered. To start a return, contact us through the store. Refunds are processed within 3–5 business days of receiving the return. If the flag arrived damaged or the wrong item was sent, we will send a replacement at no charge without requiring a return.

Most orders ship within 1–3 business days. Standard delivery within the US takes 5–10 business days. You will receive a tracking number by email when your order ships. Orders over $35 qualify for free standard shipping. If you need a flag for a specific event or date, order at least 10 business days in advance to account for any carrier delays. We ship from a US warehouse, so there are no customs delays for domestic orders.
