How to Measure Pole/Rod Pocket Panel Width?

Measure the width of your window or area you would like to cover.

Add 2-4 inches on each side of the window for overlap (if you have molding on your window add 2-4” beyond the window molding on each side). Go farther if you would like the drapes to stack off the window.

Take that number and order 2 panels to get the proper fullness.

Example:

I have a window that is 46 inches and a 2 inch molding around it.

I add 2 inches on each side from the outside of the molding; this gives me 54 inches total.

I would order 2 panels that are 54 inches each.

REMEMBER: For proper fullness, panels should measure 2-3 times the width of your window

How to Measure for Pole/Rod Pocket Panels Height

Measure from the top of the pole and add the pole size to allow “take-up” for the finished length.

If you would like to have a puddle look add 2-8 inches.

Example:

I have a length of 82" from the top of my pole to the bottom of the floor.

I am using a 2” pole to hang my drapes on, so I add 2 inches for the “take up “by my pole.

My finished length would be 84 inches.
