Step 1
Mark up to 7'0" from sidewalk or bottom of door on
building. Your city code may require a higher minimum height.
If your city does require a greater height than 7'0"
off the side walk or grade line then Step 1-A you have to
add step 1 and step 5 fpr finial heigth of front of canopy
off grade.
Step 2
From the 7' mark, or as required, measure up the side of
the building (from 1 to 2) to where you want the awning to
stop at the top. This is your drop. You can go up as high
as you would like remembering that you must maintain a flat
plane. We can make offsets, call one of our Awning Specialists
for help.
Step 3
Your projection (from 3 to 4) can be any length you would
like, however, you must stay 2' 0" back from a public
street.
Step 4
Measure the width of the canopy (from 5 to 6). It is recommended
that your drop (1 to 2) be at least 3" for each foot
of width you need.
Step 5
You can add a vertical face (from 7 to 8) to any gable entrance
canopy.
Step 6
If your door or entrance is not at the same
grade level as the front of your canopy we must have the "height
off grade" distance to calculate the fall of the canopy. |
