How to order your AC1000 awning
1) Measure your door or window
- Please make sure there is at least 3” of space available above the door or window and add at least 3” on either side of the door or window.
- This awning is not intended for casement windows (windows that open out).
2) Choose width
- Choose the awning width from the drop-down menu on the right.
- Any width is available. If the width that you need is not listed, please contact us by phone or e-mail.
3) Choose projection
- Projection is the distance the awning projects out from the house. It is offered in 6" increments.
- It is recommended to choose projection 24" for small windows, 30" for medium-sized windows and 36" for large windows.
- Greater projections are available, as well as front support posts and columns. Contact us for information.
4) Choose drop
- Drop is the height of the awning.
- As a rule of thumb, an awning should cover about 1/2 of the window height, more on the east and west sides and less on the south side.
- Drop has no effect on price.
5) Choose awning color
- AC1000 style awnings are offered in 13 colors.
- Stripes are available in any combination of the 13 colors. Contact us if you would like stripes.
Last fall, we purchased a "pan type" awning for over our back door. Our hope was that it would keep the rain and snow from coming in the doorway and that it would provide a bit of shelter. Since we live in Minnesota, we were a bit reluctant because our weather is so severe and the wind, rain and snow can be extreme. We have been far more than satisfied....we are delighted. In fact, we so love the look of the awning that we put in a fence along the patio to match it! It functions exactly as we had hoped and my husband found it to be very easy to install. He commented that the instructions were very thorough and easy to understand since there were illustrations. The employees at General Awnings were very professional as well as helpful and knowledgeable. We would have no reservations in recommending this company to our friends and family. It was a GREAT buy!
