You Measure |
The
awning must be designed around all obstructions, so carefully
note the position of all light fixtures, electrical wires,
shutters, door clearances or any other obstruction. Recommended
clearance from the floor or ground to the bottom of the valance
is a minimum of 6' 6". Preferred clearance is 6' 8" to 7'.
For doors that open outward, measure for head clearnace with
the door open to be sure the door will clear the awning.
Measure each opening seperately. Do not assume all windows
and doors are the same size. |

How
to Measure |
|
| Determining
the Width for All Shapes. |
Measure
the width of each window or door opening over which an awning
will hang from outside trim to outside trim. Add at least
three inches to allow the awning to attach to a flat surface.
Always be sure that there is enough flat wall space to accommodate
the height of the awnings as well. Make good notes-record
the width of your flat wall space for each opening. |

Domes are available in 5' and 6' widths. Simply choose the
size that is at least as wide as the door or window sizes
you recorded. The chart below will tell you the height and
and projection ( how far the awning sticks out from the wall
) for the width you have chosen. Be sure you have enough flat
wall space to accommodater the height of the dome, with no
obstructions.
