Awning measuring instructions for a SunSetter® Awning

SunSetter Motorized Awning Measuring Instructions
To get the right size SunSetter Motorized Awning for your deck, please measure your deck or patio following the easy directions below. We suggest you PRINT OUT these instructions and take it with you. You can leave your computer on while you go measure now, or you can exit the website and come back later with the measurements.

1. Measure the height of the wall where you want to install your awning. You need at least 7 ft. 6 in. from your deck or patio floor to the bottom of any roof, eave, or overhang to fit the SunSetter Motorized Awning.

2. Measure along the side of your house to decide how wide an awning you want. The SunSetter Motorized awning comes in pre-cut widths from 10 ft. to 18 ft. in one-foot increments. With the exception of the 10' awning, which measures 122" left to right, all other Motorized awnings measure exactly like their defined size . Example, a 12 ft. awning is 12 feet wide. The actual fabric width is 4½" less than the total awning width.

3. Measure to make sure you have at least 8 inches of clear, unobstructed space horizontally along your wall where the awning will fit against the house.
