Over the years, Sunsetter has set the standard for having arguably the best retractable outdoor awnings that money can buy. The company stands behind its products 100 percent and assures its customers that their products will not leak or be easily damaged by the elements. Most people who purchase a Sunsetter awning are happy with their choice. Compared to similar products on the market, the Sunsetter consistently scores better in terms of overall customer satisfaction. Before you obtain your Sunsetter awning, it's important to take note of the necessary measurements. This article will help you to check the patio/deck dimensions that your retailer will use to select the Sunsetter awning that is best suited for your property.
Step 1
Measure and record the distance between the patio or deck floor and the roof overhang where you plan to install your Sunsetter Awning.
Step 2
Allow the minimum of 7 feet 6 inches required for the motorized or VISTA lateral arm model to be installed (pictured).
Step 3
Use a tape measure to determine the width of your desired awning. Motorized or VISTA awnings are only available in pre-cut foot-long increments from 10 feet to 18 feet in width.
Step 4
Ensure that you will have at least eight inches of unobstructed space horizontally where the awning will fit against your home.
Step 5
Print out or write down these dimensions to have them available when you order your awning online or visit your local retailer. Install your awning according to the manufacturer's instructions or have a qualified professional perform the installation.
Skill: Easy
Ingredients:
- Tape measure
- Notepad and pen
Tip: There are a couple of exceptions in Sunsetter's awning sizes to note. A 10-foot awning actually measures 123 inches wide, not 120. A 12-foot awning is actually 12 feet wide, but its fabric width is 4.5 inches less than the total awning width. Take this into account when you place your order.
Warning: Sunsetter awnings are long-lasting and durable. They are also very heavy. Poorly installed awnings can rip away from a home and cause serious, even fatal, injury. Make sure that installation is performed properly.
