Step 1

Mark up 7' 0" from sidewalk or ground on building. Your city code may require a higher minimum height.

Step 2

From the 7' mark, 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 plain. We can make off sets, call one of our Awning Specialist for help.

Step 3

You projection (from 3 to 4) and it can be any length up to 1 1/2 times your drop.

Step 4

Measure the width (from 5 to 6) for the awning.

Step 5

You can add a vertical face (from 7 to 8) to any hood awning. You must have at least a 2" fall per projection foot for the roof. Example: An awning with a 36" drop and a 60" projection the fall must be at least 10" meaning your vertical face can be no more than 20". It can be less, and you could elect not to have any vertical face at all.

Taking photos of the project site is very helpful for everyone. It gives TCT&A specialists an opportunity to see where you want the awning to go. TCT&A can send you a rendering with the awning on your building to give a representation how an awning will appear when installed.

A cloudy day is best and take the picture at a 30 degree angle with any sun behind you.
