4+ 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.
- 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.
- Measure heights at all 5 corners from UNDERSIDE of header beam to floor, since Velcro is side-mounted.
- 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 using marine snaps, magnetic doorways, and stucco strips.
Once you have your panel configuration, there are a few panel adjustments. Use our panel calculator below.
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.
