Description
Be proud of this amazing country with our Heavy-duty American Flag! This 1/8″ thick steel American Flag is as tough as our nation’s Armed Forces. Hang it on any flat surface, indoors or outdoors.
The listed size is 22″ wide x 11.5″ tall, and is RAW GALVANIZED STEEL.
We can leave in unfinished to let it patina with exposure to the elements, seal it with a clear coat to preserve the color of the metal and protect from rust, or paint it the classic red and blue.
Order it painted and hang it on a white surface to really show off the true beauty/meaning behind the American Flag!
***Please note that steel in its natural state has blemishes in it. If you go with natural metal or a “Sealed” or “Clear” option, the blemishes will show. If you do not want to see them, we recommend flat black paint or any other color you choose. Or just let us know if you prefer several different colors like the third picture and we will paint it for you. Of course, you can always paint it later yourself. 🙂 Also, note that the sealed option (which makes it a darker steel color) takes a full 24 hours to cure, so it adds one day to the ship time.
Does Thickness Matter? YES! But it can be confusing because a lot of ads say “heavy duty,” “thick,” or “very durable,” but those are just words. Some ads will tell you it is a particular gauge, but if you are like us, these approaches make us feel like a goat looking at a watch – – pretty confused! So, in this listing we use 1/8″ thick metal. Let’s put that in a list of thicknesses using common coins:
1/8″ = .125″ = 11 Gauge = Thicker than a Quarter and a Dime Stacked on Top of Each Other (2.4% Thicker). It is 250% thicker than 18 Gauge and 60% thicker than 14 Gauge.
5/64″ = .078″ = 14 Gauge = Barely Thicker than a Nickel (1.6% thicker).
1/20″ = .05″ = 18 Gauge = Almost as Thick as a Dime (it is 6% short)
If you are in Hawaii or Alaska, please send us a message. We are subsidizing the shipping cost already and we are not sure if we have to charge extra to serve our far-away States. If you are interested however, strike up a conversation with us and we will see what we can figure out for you.
