How To Measure

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

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

2. Measure only the open area of your garage door 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

The actual size of screens on our order page are 2 inches wider than stated and almost 1-1.5″ inch taller.

For Example : A 16′ x 7′ screen is actually 16′ 2″ x 7′ 1″ including the velcro border.

A 9′ x 7′ screen is actually 9′ 2″ x 7′ 1″ including the velcro border.

4. ORANGE – bottom of angle to floor (inches)
