Calculation method

Calculation method

Horizontal extension (m)

Horizontal=slopedLength cos pitch; drop=slopedLength sin pitch.

Covered rectangular footprint (m²)

Horizontal=slopedLength cos pitch; drop=slopedLength sin pitch.

Outer edge height (m)

Horizontal=slopedLength cos pitch; drop=slopedLength sin pitch.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Ideal flat awning geometry, no wind, drainage, support or usability recommendation. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Ideal flat awning geometry, no wind, drainage, support or usability recommendation.
