To measure for an Awning, take a tape measure and measure 450mm above the top of your door or window. We recommend using a stepladder for this process. Use chalk or a pencil and mark the row of bricks directly above the 450mm measurement (if 450mm falls on the mortar, mark the row above).
Ensure there are no obstructions below the markings or in front of the Awning when it extends out. Most importantly, check for any damage to the brickwork and make sure there will be at least 6 rows of bricks above where the Awning will be installed.
