How to Measure

Step 1

Measure the height of the wall where you want to install your awning.

SunSetter awnings require a minimum height of 7 feet 6 inches from your deck or patio floor to the bottom of any roof, eave, or overhang.

Step 2

Measure along the wall of your house at the desired mounting height to determine your awning width.

SunSetter Awnings are fabricated to match the following width measurements:

• Most awning models match the size measured.
  (example: 14 ft. size awning = 14 ft. actual width)
• All Platinum Plus (Semi-Cassette) models measure 3 inches wider than size measured.
  (example: 16 ft. size awning = 16 ft. 3 in. actual width)
• Awnings that are 10 feet measure 3 inches wider than size measured.
  (example:?10 ft. size awning = 10 ft. 3 in. actual width)

Special Considerations:

• Fabric width is 4 ½ inches narrower than awning width for all models except...
• Platinum Plus (Semi-Cassette) fabric width is 7 ½ inches narrower than awning width.

Step 3

For Motorized models only:

Please indicate whether you want your electrical awning as you face the house. It should be closest to your outdoor electrical outlet.

Step 4

Choose the style of Mounting Brackets for your type of installation:

• Wall Brackets (most common) – Requires 8 inches of clear, unobstructed horizontal space along the entire width of your awning at the height it is being mounted
• Soffit Brackets – Only used when mounting to the underside of an overhang

Special Considerations:

• Platinum Plus (Semi-Cassette) models require 9 inches of horizontal mounting space.
• XL models installed with optional Aluminum Hood require 11 inches of mounting space.
• Non-XL models installed with optional Aluminum Hood require 9 inches of mounting space.
