An outdoor patio awning enhances the appearance and improves the usability of your backyard. No matter the season, having a way to help regulate the temperature, shield against the sun’s harmful UV rays, protect against bugs and lower your energy bills makes awnings a worthwhile investment.
Whether your current awning is looking a little ragged or you’re interested in installing a brand-new awning system, you’ll have to ensure you have the right measurements before you make your selection.
Ways to Measure for a Retractable Awning
To accurately measure your awning’s size, you’ll need a few basic tools, such as a measuring tape, ladder, paper and pen. If you have an awning installed already, you can measure its width and height to determine the size of its replacement.
If you’re installing a new awning, you’ll need to choose a location first. Measure along the exterior wall of your house to get the width. Then, measure up the wall to obtain the awning height. Be sure to account for any architectural details you want the awning to cover, like doors or windows.
