For example, an awning that is too small may not fully cover the area to be shaded, leaving parts of it still exposed to the sun or rain, while an awning that is too large may look out of place or even out of harmony with its surroundings. Accurate sizing takes into account a number of factors, including the length, width, height of the installation location, and surrounding obstacles, etc. Flicker Marine's crews often use precise measuring tools and make careful measurements and calculations in conjunction with the actual situation to ensure that the awning can be installed in just the right place.
