Measuring & Installation Guide for Exterior Shutters
Take careful Measurements.
It is important to measure your shutter pocket at the top and the bottom and on both sides, because window frames may not always be square.
Remember to measure and re-measure to verify your numbers before selecting your shutters and the desired mounting proceedure.
Select the best mounting & hardware options.
