1. WIDE: Measure the width of the area you want to
cover.
See Diagram - EXAMPLE 1
2. PROJECTION (attached to house wall, under
eave/fascia board):
If your cover will attach to the back wall:
Measure from the wall of the house, outwards, to the edge
of the area to be covered. (NOT just to post locations)
See Diagram - EXAMPLE 2
OR
3. PROJECTION (attached to the eave/fascia board of
the house)
If your cover will attach to the roof eave/fascia:
Follow directions for #2 above. Then measure the distance
from the wall to the outside edge of the eave.
See Diagram - EXAMPLE 3
Subtract the 2nd measurement (example #3) from the first
wall measurement (example #2) This will give you the
projection for a patio cover attached at the eave/fascia.
If you are just replacing an existing patio cover, and want the
same size.
1. measure how far the current cover PROJECTS away
from the house. Do not take any post locations into
consideration when measuring.
2. Measure how WIDE it is along the wall or eave/fascia of
the house.
3. Make note whether the current cover is attached to the
wall or the eave/fascia.
If you want a different size patio cover from your existing
one, please refer to the instructions on the right:
