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″ and a 2″ molding around it.
    • I add 2″ on each side from the outside of molding, this gives me 54″ total.
    • I would order 2 panels that are 54″ each.

 

How to Measure Pole/Rod Pocket Panel 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″ for the “take up” by my pole
    • My finished length would be 84″

    • I add 2″ on each side which gives me 50″ total
    • I need to order 2 Pleated panels 25″ each to get the correct fullness
