Calculating window awning drop and projection.
We can create custom awnings that range from 8 feet to 35 feet and custom projections that range from 5 feet to 13 feet.
B height awning height measured on structure.
Call for exact sizes in this instance.
Contact us to order custom sizes.
For maximum strength the rule of thumb is to have 3 inches of drop for every foot of projection that the awning can extend.
Measure from side to side at the top of the awning.

You can choose either projection this will change the height of the.
A four inch sleeve for the head rod is assumed and automatically added to the calculated projection.
The default awning height is the same as the awning projection.
For example if the sunsurrender ii awning has a 10 projection then the total drop should be 30 lower than the mounting point.
Be sure the window projection does not protrude int the path of foot traffic and should be 6 8 above the ground.
For example a window that measures 60 in height would have an awning that has a 30 projection.
A hem allowance of 1 2 inch 12 7 mm is added to each side of this width.
Determine height a that awning should be from bottom to top.
How to measure projection of awning.
The projection is how far the awning will project from the building.
The projection of the awning is usually determined by the height of window or point drop unless a crank out window.
Custom awnings don t hesitate to call us if you think you want an awning wider than 20 feet or with a different projection.
Now you know how to measure for an awning.
Custom projections widths and heights are available.
Measure the height of the window from the edge of the trim on each end.
How do you calculate the projection factor of a gable end roof overhang.
1 select your desired width and projection x height from the drop down menus.
Determine projection b of awning.
With window awnings projection is replaced by vertical height.
The projection often needs to be 0 5m less than the width to support the structure effectively but our team will be able to advise on this.

The angle at which the sun strikes the window at midday depends on the season of the year and the latitude at which the house is located.
A standard practice is to add 6 to outside width of door or window.
The angle of retractable awnings affects their maximum strength or their wind load.
In that instance you need to ensure the window when cranked out does not hit the awning.
A standard projection b would be approximately half the height of your window.
