Gable Tarp on Frame Measurements

• A and B are measured from the peak of the canopy to the inside edge of the side rail tubing.
• Tarps are sold in even foot dimensions however the actual size of the tarp will be 4 to 6 inches smaller.
• Tarp Width = A + B and rounded to the nearest foot increment. If possible always measure the old tarp for replacement dimensions.
• C = opening width, this is not the same as tarp width and should not be used when ordering a replacement tarp.
• Tarp Length is measured from inside of the front rafter to the inside of the back rafter. Round to the nearest foot increment.  Always make measurements between the actual rafters and not the legs for accurate measurements. If possible always measure the old tarp for replacement dimensions.

Valance Tarps

Side Tarp

• Tarps are sold in even foot dimensions however the actual size of the tarp will be 4 to 6 inches smaller.
• Tarp Width is measured from the top rail to the bottom rail.
• Tarp Length is measured from inside of the front leg to the inside of the back leg. Round to the nearest foot increment. 
• If possible always measure the old tarp for replacement dimensions.

Tarp Over Side

• A and B are measured from the peak of the canopy to the corner of the side rail tubing.
• If canopy has lower horizontal rails then D and E are measured from the corner of the side rail tubing to the inside edge of the lower horizontal rail tubing.
• If canopy does not have lower horizontal rails then D and E are measured from the corner of the side rail tubing down to the ground.
• Tarps are sold in even foot dimensions however the actual size of the tarp will be 4 to 6 inches smaller.
• Tarp Width = A + B + D + E and rounded to the nearest foot increment. If possible always measure the old tarp for replacement dimensions.
• C = opening width, this is not the same as tarp width and should not be used when ordering a replacement tarp.
• Tarp Length is measured from inside of the front rafter to the inside of the back rafter. Round to the nearest foot increment.  Always make measurements between the actual rafters and not the legs for accurate measurements. If possible always measure the old tarp for replacement dimensions.

• Measure "A", the total rise by drawing an imaginary line (or holding a string) from the corners of the canopy. In the middle of the measure from this line to the peak of the canopy. This measurement is in inches.
• Measurement "B" is the opening width of the canopy. Make this measurement by measuring inside the vertical upright poles. This measurement is in feet.
• Calculate the rise by dividing A by 1/2 of B. The equations looks like this: A / (B/2) . This will give the number of inches rise per foot in canopy width.
• Low Peak Canopies are 2.5 in / ft.
• Medium Peak Canopies are 4 in / ft.
• High Peak Canopies are 7 in / ft.

• Low Peak and Medium peak size should be picked to match the tarp over top width measurement "C".  The bottom measurement shown in the table should be a few inches smaller than your actual opening "B" to allow ball bungees to pull the tarp tight.

• High peak size is selected by measuring tarp over top "C"  and subtracting 2 feet. For example if "C" is 12 feet then the order size for the Peak End Drop should be 10 feet. The bottom measurement shown in the table should be a few inches smaller than your actual opening "B" to allow ball bungees to pull the tarp tight.
