As homes age, they shift and settle, sometimes throwing off windows so they're no longer square. Even the windows inside new homes may not be perfectly proportioned. For these reasons, it's important to precisely measure the dimensions of a window.

Measure the outside of each window thoroughly—horizontally at the top, center and bottom and vertically along both sides and at the center (always measure with a hard-edged ruler or steel tape—never a cloth tape). If a window isn't square, use the larger measurement. Make sure your window is level, or the unit may slant to one side.    Traditional/Convex Awnings:  The width should be at least 2 inches wider than the window.  The recommended drop is 1/3 of the total vertical length of your window.  The recommended projection is the same as the drop. Concave Awnings:  The width should be at least 2 inches wider than the window.  The recommended drop is 1/3 of the total vertical length of your window.  The recommended projection is the same as the drop. Dome Awnings:  The width should be at least 2 inches wider than the window.  The recommended drop and projection is ½ the width measurement.                Rope Pull Shades:  The width you give us will be the total measurement of the fabric.  The drop should be the length of your window. Retractable Solar Screens:  Add 3" to the width of your window frame.  Add 4" to the drop because the cassette is 4" tall. Retractable Awnings:  The width should be at least 2 inches wider than the window.  The recommended drop is 1/3 of the total vertical length of your window.              Measuring for a custom grill cover     Left Side                                   Right Side

  

 

Give us these measurements:   

A. Width =
B. Height =
C. Depth =
D. Width of hood =
E. Height of shelf/counter to top of the hood =
F. Length of Shelf/Counter- Right side =                        Left side =  
G. Shelf/Counter to the ground =
H. Circumference- (This is not pictured) - Please measure from the ground in front of the grill over the top of the hood to the ground in back =  

We will add a ½" to your measurements for ease in putting on and taking off.  We will subtract 2" from the height because our covers finish 2" from the ground.  If you want to change this standard for your cover, please let us know.
