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″
