When measuring a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position you need to measure is over a mortar line measure to the next brick up or across

• Use a good quality tape measure (metal ones are best) and measure down to the nearest mm.
• It is essential the measurements provided are accurate for the blinds to fit correctly (do not be surprised if your windows / posts are not perfectly square)
• Measure all windows / posts, even if they appear to be the same size.
• Betta 3000 Multi Stop Awnings can be fitted in various positions and or surfaces.
• Face Fit (Outside Fit) The most common fit for a 3000 Multi Stop Awning
• Reveal Fit (Inside Fit) If fitting onto posts, brick pillars or similar.
• Always take note of any obstructions to the awning’s operation, such as down pipes, air conditioners, windows that open outwards, door handles, timber beams. If obstacles are the way you may need to measure and fit the awning differently.
• Always indicate the WIDTH measurement first, then the DROP last. (e.g., 2400mm x 2475mm)
• Please take extra time to measure all the windows/posts accurately, a helpful rule is “measure once, measure twice and measure again to be sure!”
• Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm).
• For larger blinds refer to the Betta Blinds pricing guide sizes to ensure the blind can be manufactured successfully and are covered by any appropriate warranties.
• Awnings made outside of Betta Blinds recommendations are not covered under warranty.

Measuring for a wall/window or posts – Face Fit (Outside Fit)

1. Measure the width at the top of your opening and where you will be fitting the awning. It is recommended that the awning is measured/installed 70 -100mm either side of the opening (this helps to provide fabric coverage) In the example below it is measured 100mm either side of the brickwork. Take 3 measurements, top, middle, and bottom as posts maybe out of square. Betta Blinds & Awnings recommends taking 3 measurements. *It is important that you take your main width measurement from the top of the window/opening as this is where your brackets/cassette will be fitted. You may need to use the smallest measurement in some circumstances.
   NOTE: This is just a guide only, you can measure wider if required, if possible
   NOTE: The Betta 3000 channel is 65mm x 55mm & the Cassette is 125mm x 125mmm.

2. Measure the drop of the awning from the top of the of where the awning is being fitted to where you want the awning to finish as per photo below. Take 3 measurements, left, middle, and right.

   NOTE: This is just a guide only, you can measure higher up if possible or lower if required.
