How do I measure for a Clear Pergola Front Cover (6 Leg, Double Panel)?
This guide explains how to measure your 6-leg double-panel pergola front for a custom-fitted clear Kuvr® cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 3 measurements to take, labelled A to C.
Important
Provide exact measurements with no extra allowance added. Kuvr® adds a standard tolerance of +25 mm (1 in) to the width and depth for a comfortable fit; no allowance is added to the height. You can measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover.
Please include photos
Photos of your 6-leg double-panel pergola front, taken from a few angles alongside your measurements, help us understand the exact shape and get your cover right from the outset. Including a tape measure in shot for scale is ideal.
The measurements
A — Width from left leg to centre middle leg
This is the width of the left bay, measured from the outside of the left leg to the centre of the middle leg. Measure straight across at leg level.
B — Width from centre middle leg to right leg
This is the width of the right bay, measured from the centre of the middle leg to the outside of the right leg. Measure straight across at leg level.
C — Total height to top of roof beam
Total height is the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the front roof beam. Measure straight up, keeping the tape vertical.
Frequently asked questions
What if my pergola has a roof overhang?
Measure the height to the top of the sloping roof beam directly above each leg, not to the outer edge of any overhang. The cover follows the beam line, so an overhang is not included in the height.
Should I measure the frame itself or leave a gap?
Measure the pergola frame itself, with the tape flat against the timber or metal. Do not add any allowance — we add a small tolerance during manufacture.
Can you cover pergolas with extra bays or an unusual shape?
Yes. Measure the closest layout shown here and send photos of your pergola. We confirm the exact pattern from your measurements and images before cutting.
