I don't spend a lot on my flags because they really get beat up.  So I but the lesser quality figuring that they'll have to be replaced a couple of times a year anyways.  The fact that this very inexpensive flag is still flying 8 months later pleases me well.  It's up about 20 feet, 7/24, and sees winds averaging 5 to 10 mph on a 'normal' day with the occasional storm friont gusts reaching as high as 60+ mph.  So far (8 months later) it's just now starting to show a little fraying on the ends.  I'll be buying another shortly to have ready when this one finally gives in.
