How to Measure for a Retractable Awning

Accurate measurements are critical for proper awning fit and performance. Follow these steps to ensure you get the right dimensions.

Measure the width of the area you want to cover. Add 1-2 feet for optimal coverage.

Measure how far out from the wall you want the awning to extend. This is the depth of coverage.

Measure from the ground to where the awning will be mounted. Minimum 8 feet clearance recommended.

Ensure the mounting surface is solid and can support the weight. Brick, concrete, or solid wood required.

Note any windows, doors, lights, or other obstacles that might interfere with installation or operation.
