How to Measure Pole/Rod Pocket Panel Width?

• Measure the width of your window or area you would like to cover.
• Add 2-4 inches on each side of the window for overlap (if you have molding on your window then add 2-4” beyond the window molding on each side). Go farther if you would like the drapes to stack off the window.
• Take that number and order 2 panels to get proper fullness.
  Example:
  • I have a window that is 46 inches and a 2 inch molding around it.
  • I add 2 inches on each side from the outside of molding, this gives me 54 inches total.
  • I would order 2 panels that are 54 inches each.

How to Measure for Pole/Rod Pocket Panels Height?

• Measure from the top of the pole and add the pole size to allow “take-up” for finished length.
• If you would like to have a puddle look add 2-8 inches.
  Example:
  • I have a length of 82 from the top of my pole to the bottom of the floor.
  • I am using a 2” pole to hang my drapes on, so I add 2 inches for the “take up” by my pole.
  • My finished length would be 84 inches.
