Most folks get about three to six months out of standard Polyeste4r or Nylon Flag if left up 24/7 and 365 in all sorts of weather with Proper Lighting on the flag.  Usually the wind wiped end is the first to go and then the stitching along the edges.  So it is possible to see it happening and catch it and bring them in for Re-Sewing the Wind Edge if you catch it soon enough. 

If not The Army Navy Surplus 765-281-8804 or ansom47305@yahoo.com and the web site that shows the different flags are on http://armysurplusbyjacobsen.bravehost.com  just scroll down the site and click on the Flag Catalog, the Shop has them 3 for $30.00 and that will usually give a family or business 12-14 months of continuous display.
