Event garage questions

Pipinghot, on May 09 2014 - 20:19, said: Most flags have multiple designs:   1) Horizontal flag, which is what most people think of when you use the word "flag", designed to be viewed left-to-right, as though it is on a flagpole with a good breeze blowing. Should only be displayed in this aspect, left-to-right, should not be hung vertically (see below).   2) Vertical flag, mean to be hung from a flagpole, in places where there is not enough wind to keep a rectangular flag blowing in the breeze.   3) Banner - an alternate version of the the design that is intended to be hung in a location with no wind (indoors) or in such a large size that wind is not a factor (like hanging from the front of a build). A banner can be flown vertically or horizontally, as desired. Banners are not "true flags", they are only a representation of the symbols from a flag, so the vertical or horizontal hanging doesn't matter. Some countries specify the design of their banner, some don't.   The difference between a "vertical flag" and a "banner" can be confusing, sometimes they look the same. There are not many places that actually define a design as being a "vertical flag", if they do then that is the only way it should be hung. In most places they don't think of the two as being different things, so you can hang them however you want.   Using the illustration below: 1) Flag - should only be hung horizontally. 2a, 2b, 3) Vertical flags 4, 5a & 5B) Banners   An example of the wrong way to hang a horizontal flag, if you want to do this use a banner instead.
