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.
