4+ Sided Exposure - Irregular Columns With Tracking Attachment
If you have irregularly-shaped columns, you have one choice, an Inside Hang, where panels take a path INSIDE your columns.
Projects with Irregular-shaped columns use multi-panel configurations. Because we cannot fasten a panel directly to the irregularly-shaped corner columns, panels will straddle the corner columns with elastic cord to "pinch" the curtain to the corner.
- IMPORTANT: Sum width of all sides = Sum of all panel widths.
- Panel breaks with magnetic doorways are wherever you like on each side.
- Panels that straddle corner columns cannot be fastened directly to irregularly-shaped columns.
- If you don't have a good under-mounting surface, side-mount a 2" x 2" wood strip, then under-mount track to the wood strip.
- Measure heights at all corners from underside of track mounting surface to floor. Heights could be different.
- Measure the exposed widths of all sides ALONG the path your tracking will take WITHOUT ANY OVERLAP.
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
- For Tracking: Add 1-in per 10ft of panel width for relaxed fit
- Subtract 1-in for EACH edge connecting a Stucco Strip
- Add 1-inch for EACH edge that will snap to some surface
- Automatically add 2-inches per panel regardless of width
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
- Measuring is done from the bottom of the track mounting surface to the floor.
- NO height adjustments necessary for tracking. The 1-inch drop provides floor overlap.
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.
