How To Measure

Once you know how to measure your porch screen opening, you can see if the size you measured is available in stock

1. Measure only the open area of your porch opening jam to door jam or side to side. (Width)

2. Measure only the open area of your porch opening from the floor to bottom of top header. (Height)

3. Please note we will be adding 1/2 inch to 1 inch to your Height and 1 inch to each side for mounting.

Measuring is simple. All we need is the open area top to bottom and side to side. We add a 1/2 inch-1 inch to the top and 1 inch to each side for mounting. You can always move the screen up and down and side to side for a perfect fit

Actual sizes of screen on our order page are 2 inches wider than stated and almost 1 inch taller

For Example : 16′ x 7′ screen is actually 16 ft 2 inches x 7 ft 1 inch

A 9′ x 7′ screen is actually 9 ft 1 inch x 7 ft 1 inch

We also can make screens with angles if you have a garage with angled brickwork or woodworking as seen in the photos below. To determine the cost of an angled screen, simply take the price of the screen for your garage door size and add $35 to the total cost. For example, a stock size 9 x 7 costs $141.00. To add angles to the 9 x 7, the total cost would be $176.00 with free shipping.
