How to measure and install your awning fabric: Guide?
Anyone can measure the fabric of their awning. Follow these steps to obtain accurate measurements and place your order with complete peace of mind.
1 - Locate the different finishes
There are three types of finish to consider:
Top finish :
Located at the top of the fabric, at the exit of the box (if your awning is fitted with one) or the winding tube (if you have a monobloc model).
Bottom finish :
Located above the load bar (or front bar).
Valance finish :
Located below the load bar and at the bottom of the valance
2 - Measurements
Measure the width :
Measure the total width of the canvas from left to right, including the ends of the canvas.
Measure the projection:
Measure the length of the unfolded fabric, from the attachment point on the roll-up tube to the load bar. It is recommended that you add 30 cm to this measurement to allow for the fabric wrapping around the tube
