Patio Awnings UK - Awning Measuring Advice

Awnings are simply measured

in width (along the wall) and in
projection (the outward reach).

Width is always specified first,

so a '4.0m x 2.0m' is 4m wide.

Width: This is the size along

the wall. Most popular widths

range between 3.0m & 5.0m.

If aiming to shade a window

measure a little extra each

side to allow for angled sun.

It is desirable for awnings to

sit well with any existing wall

features. Avoid your chosen

width ending half way across

a window or a door. Aim for a

balanced look where possible.

Projection: This is how far the awning extends at its furthest reach.
Projections start at 1.5m (5ft). To create a good size 'outdoor room'
you should ideally be aiming for 3.0m or more. 3m is our most
popular requested projection size.

Obstacles: Look for obstacles that might limit your awning width or
restrict its outward movement. Drain "down-pipes" are obvious but
also check for high mounted heating flues etc. Wall lights can easily
be moved. Less obvious obstacles may include conservatory doors
that open outward into the awnings path or its folding arms.
