Shop America250 decorations for each display type
Identify the area to decorate, then select items suited to the surface and viewing distance.
America250 logo pieces
Choose these items for logo-focused displays at schools, town events, and entrances. Select America250 and matching fans. Keep the logo style consistent. Freedom250 for programs requiring that mark on signage and decor. Start with Freedom250 flags, then add matching bunting or fans. Confirm size and finish for a uniform display.
Building front decor
Cover building fronts across rails, windows, and columns with 250th anniversary bunting, pleated fans, and pull-down banners. Measure the span and use the same size for each section.
Parade and street decor
For street lines, use repeating items such as pennant strings, pole banners, and street banners for light poles, fences, campuses, and parade routes. Count hang points before ordering to ensure even spacing.
Choose material, hanging style, and size
Determine the installation location, then select the appropriate material. Indoor areas such as lobbies or stages remain dry, while outdoor areas like porch rails, fences, or poles face sun, wind, and rain. Review hanging details on each product page before placing a large order, as grommets, headers, pole pockets, and banner sleeves require different installation methods.
Indoor or outdoor use
Use indoor decor for classrooms, gyms, and event rooms. Select items with clean edges and sharp prints for close viewing.
Outdoor decor should withstand wind and wet weather. Choose weather-resistant fabric and reinforced top construction. Confirm your attachment method, such as hooks, rope, or pole brackets.
How it hangs
Select a hanging style compatible with your hardware and use it consistently across the set. Mixing styles can result in an uneven, unprofessional display.
- Grommets: Use hooks, clips, or rope ties to secure to rails and poles.
- Header: Use when you want a stronger top edge for repeated hanging.
- Pole pocket: Slide onto a pole for a smooth, even hang.
- Banner sleeve: Slide onto banner bars or pole systems for a straight drop.
Size and placement
Measure the full span, such as porch rail length, fence panel width, or column height, before selecting a size. Choose from the product size list and use the same size and spacing for each section. For distant viewing, select a larger size.
Choose a set for your space
Identify the area to decorate and the expected viewing distance. A coordinated set ensures consistent print style and finish for a uniform appearance in photos. Place patriotic bunting on the main rail, add one or two pleated fans to porch posts or window bays, and maintain even spacing across the front.
For storefronts, hang pull-down banners on columns and place bunting along the awning for street visibility. For schools and towns, display Freedom250 flags at entry gates and add pole banners to main street poles. Use consistent sizes and confirm the number of poles and bracket types for bulk orders.
- Porch: patriotic bunting, 1-2 pleated fans, repeat spacing
- Storefront: pull down banners on columns, bunting on awning
- Town or school: Freedom250 flags at gates, pole banners on poles
How to choose the right materials
Install indoor decor in dry areas such as gyms, lobbies, or stages. Use outdoor decor on porches, fences, poles, and storefronts exposed to weather. Select fabric for the expected conditions, then choose hanging components appropriate for the mounting location.
100% SolarMax nylon for pleated bunting
SolarMax nylon holds outdoors and dries quickly after moisture exposure. Choosea250 flag bunting in 100% SolarMax nylon for rails, fences, and porch fronts.
Printed nylon for flags on poles
Printed nylon is ideal for pole-mounted flags visible from the street. Freedom250 flags use heavyweight 200 denier SolarMax printed nylon with brass grommets on the header for secure hanging.
100% nylon for pull-down banners
Pull-down banners are designed for walls and columns, where twisting may occur. America250 pull-down banners use 100% nylon with a reinforced header and two grommets at both the top and bottom to minimize twisting and keep the banner straight.
