How To Measure for Awnings

Measuring is different depending on the style of awning you choose. Refer to the How To Measure instruction sheets for details. Once you've established the size awning you need, use that information in the order form.

Selecting A Fabric

During the online order process you will be shown images of swatches of fabric so that you can make your selection. If the fabric color must match exactly then you should request a sample of the actual fabric from us.

How To Measure - Australia

This product must be mounted into either a wood fascia board, studs or "header" above the door (unexposed header underneath stucco wall is acceptable). Measure the width of the opening and add at least 12" to that dimension. It can be wider if you choose. There are six (6) arm size projections: 4', 5'3", 6'11", 8'7", 10'-2" and 12'.

Measure the desired projection area and pick one of the six projection arm sizes. Take into consideration where the retractable is to be mounted; the fascia, wall, or roof. Also, consider that if mounting on the fascia, you need at least 6" of an area to mount on to.

To determine the width, measure the width of the window including any window moldings and/or trim outside to outside then add at least 8". For the height, measure half of the window height measurement including any window moldings and/or trim and then add 6". For the projection, simply match the height dimension.

  • This formula gives the window maximum sun blockage. For less blockage, do not add 6" to height measurement.
  • Make sure the area where the awning is to be mounted is clear of all obstacles, light fixtures and eave overhangs.
Example:

Width: 48" + 8" = 56"
Height: 48" ÷ 2 = 24" + 6" = 30"
Projection: Same as height = 30"
Awning Size: 56" (w) x 30" (h) x 30" (p)
