Typical measurements that we like you to provide on sketch plans include length, height and width of the area you want to cover. (i.e., yards, feet, inches) If the area you are going to cover is an irregular shape, we also like you to provide additional measurements, which can include, for example, the height off the ground of any deck you are wanting to provide shade cover for, as well as distances to boundary lines of your property.
One last important matter to include on all sketches and diagrams is a compass direction showing North and the direction of the sun at midday or when the sun causes the greatest problem. These notations help us to approximate the sun’s direction and determine where shadows from shade structures will fall.
If you have any queries regarding the measurements we require, then don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll help you out!
