VISTA Awning Measuring Instructions
To get the right size VISTA Awning for your deck, please measure your deck or patio following the easy directions below. We suggest you PRINT OUT this page and take it with you. You can leave your computer on while you go measure now, or you can exit the website and come back later with the measurements.  Then, enter the width awning you want, scroll down, and click on "NEXT" to continue.

1. Measure the height of the wall where you want to install your awning. You need at least 7 ft. 6 in. from your deck or patio floor to the bottom of any roof, eave, or overhang to fit the VISTA Awning. (If you don’t have this much clearance, you can install our Model 900XT or Model 1000XT.)

2. Measure along the side of your house to decide how wide an awning you want. The VISTA awning comes in pre-cut widths from 10 ft. to 18 ft. in one-foot increments. With the exception of the 10' awning, which measures 122" left to right, all other VISTA awnings measure exactly like their defined size. Example, a 12 ft. awning is 12 feet wide. The actual fabric width is 4½" less than the total awning width.

3. Decide if you will install your awning on the wall (most common installation, using our standard wall brackets), or to the underside of your overhang (make sure you request our soffit brackets for this type of installation). If your awning will be installed on the wall, you will need at least 8 inches of clear, unobstructed space horizontally along your wall where the awning will fit against the house.
