Step 1
Mark up 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
sidewalk or grade line, then you have to add Step 1 and Step
6 for final height 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 and that 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
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
Next, measure the width of the canopy (from 4 to 5). 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 (measure from 4 to 5) to any
round 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 this distance (from
8 to 9) to calculate the fall of the canopy. If you have a
pad with steps that a canopy covers, see the “How
to measure” section for the Gable Canopy. |
