Mine only comes down on extremely windy days and when its pouring. Other than that, she flys 24 hours a day. I'm the guy in the neighborhood who will knock on your door and ask you to replace your ripped into pieces and completely faded flag or take it down......
I do the same at my MIL's assisted living center, they leave it twisted and knotted up all the time, I'm constantly straightening it out is seems.
