• 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

• 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
