Description
Algeria
On the 3rd July 1962, the date of Algeria’s independence, the flag that had been used by the National Liberation Front since 1948 was adopted as the National flag.
The flag is traditionally attributed to be the flag of the liberation forces of Abd el-Kader, the hero of Algerian resistance against the French in the first half of the nineteenth century, but there is no proof of this. It is more likely that Messali Hadj designed the flag in 1928 after setting up the North African Star political movement. The white on the fly stands for purity. The colour green, the crescent and the 5-pointed star are common symbols in the Islamic world. The star and crescent, originally connected with attributes of the Virgin Mary and Diana, also symbolise Constantinople, former capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Durability and Flag Life
A flags life can vary based on its exposure to the sun and wind. Exposure to harsh sunlight and high winds can breakdown the fibres in flags which cause fraying. You can follow the tips below to maximise your flags life:
Avoid strong winds – you can bring your flag down when strong winds are forecast to avoid excessive wear and early damage.
Select the right material – woven polyester is the more durable material our flags are made of. If you require assistance in choosing the right flag material for your purpose you can give us a call on 3274 1823. We’d love to help you out.
Rest Overnight – Flying the flag overnight can double its exposure to winds, unless required we recommend taking your flag down at dusk and raise it at dawn.
Fly your flag freely – make sure your flag is clear from buildings, trees and other obstacles. This avoids unnecessary wear.
Expected life – with all that said, flags flown continuously can expect to last 3 – 9 months, whereas flags bought in at night and taken down during strong winds can last up to 2 years.
