Selecting the optimal feather flag size depends on several key factors:

Location considerations:

• Shop fronts: 11.5ft flags provide excellent visibility without blocking sightlines
• Open outdoor areas: 15ft flags offer optimal visibility-to-stability ratio
• Highway locations: 17ft flags essential for high-speed traffic visibility

Viewing distance requirements:

• Close proximity (under 20m): 8ft flags provide clear message visibility
• Medium distance (20-40m): 11.5ft flags ensure readable text and graphics
• Long distance (40-80m): 15ft flags necessary for effective communication
• Maximum distance (80m+): 17ft flags required for highway-speed recognition

Practical constraints:

• Height restrictions: Check overhead cables, branches, and building clearances
• Base limitations: Larger flags require more substantial base systems
• Storage considerations: Larger flags need more storage space when not in use
• Budget factors: Larger sizes cost more but provide significantly better visibility
