3 Sided Exposure - Regular Columns With Velcro Attachment
An inside hang is almost never recommended. Instead, take advantage of the skeletal structure of your porch with an outside path for regularly-shaped columns, start with one panel for each side.
Only split panels where you need a magnetic doorway to enter and exit. Magnetic doorways for Velcro top attachment work exactly the same way as they do for tracking attachment.
- IMPORTANT: Sum width of all sides = Sum of all panel widths.
- We will divide your project into at least 1 panel for each side ending panels at corner columns. Any side can be further split for a magnetic doorway but only if you need one.
- Measure heights at all 4 corners from UNDERSIDE of header beam to floor, since Velcro is side-mounted to some surface.
- Measure the "widths" of each side ALONG the path the curtain will take WITHOUT ANY overlap. Measure to the 1/2 inch and please be accurate.
Watch the video to get an overview on how to measure using marine snaps, magnetic doorways, and stucco strips.
Once you have your panel configuration, there are a few panel adjustments to make for each panel. Use our panel calculator below to help with your calculations.
WIDTH ADJUSTMENTS
- Add another 1-in per 10ft of panel width for relaxed fit.
- Subtract 1-in for EACH edge connecting a Stucco Strip
- Add another 1-inch for EACH edge that will snap to some surface
- Automatically add 2-inches per panel regardless of width
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
- If height varies by 2" or less, use taller height
- This provides 1" of overlap on top and bottom
- Velcro -- Add 2" to height from bottom of Velcro mounting surface to floor
Simple Panel Adjustment Calculator
This simple panel calculator will make your panel adjustments for each panel, one at a time! Use this calculator by entering the 5 pieces of information required to adjust your panels. Repeat for each panel larger than a stucco strip.
NOTE: If the difference between all 4 heights is less than 1.5-inches, just use the tallest of the 4 heights. If the heights differ more than 1.5-inches, call in your order because we will need to taper the slope.
