Quick Guide to Measuring Your Space
Measuring for a condo awning is simple, and our team will verify everything during your free in-home visit.
1. Width
Measure the wall space available for mounting. Leave a few inches clear around trim or railing.
2. Projection (Depth)
Decide how far you’d like the awning to extend. Compact 5–8 ft projections are ideal for balconies, while larger terraces may use 10–12 ft.
3. Mounting Height
Measure from the floor to where the awning will mount. If space is tight, roof brackets allow for added clearance.
4. Obstacles
Note any lights, vents, cameras, or railing details. Photos help us plan around them.
5. Pro Verification
Our in-house installers confirm all measurements, recommend the right bracket style, and assist with HOA requirements.
