I have an arch window on my front door. It measures 24' wide x 12' high. Can I cut the shade down to fit these measurements?

Yes, it can easily be cut to your door window arch size, and I would cut it a little wider until you see if the fit is right for full privacy. They also sell Velcro Dots...tiny. One side of dot goes on the glass pane and one Velcro side on the top of paper shade. Will not fall, but must have at least a one inch ledge at the base to set the holder and shade on. EZ Arch

Hi Carlos and thank you for your question. Yes! The arch can be cut to those measurements. Please make sure you allot at least an 1.5" ledge for the arch to sit upon. I would also recommend using Velcro or clear double-sided tape to adhere the arch to the window pane. Thank you for your interest in this product.

As for it falling down, put one velcro strip on the very top attach to the top of it and to the window. I did that with mine 6 months ago and it NEVER fell. If I wanted to, I can take it down since it's velcro. The velcro is only an inch or less so it's not noticeable.

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

I think you mean 24" x 12" and yes you can. My advise is to measure the shade and cut it 26" long first. Size up to the window and cut a small portion off at a time. You can always cut more off, if you cut to much at first, you can't put it back on. I did that with mine, it fits great. You MUST have a ledge on the flat side of the window for the shade to fit on. It is about 1 inch thick.

Yes you can. It's really easy to cut down to size as well. It's only one cut.

There are no window plans with this kit. I installed 4 24"x24" windows but I had to adjust spacing to make them fit. You probably would have the least problems if you made a 10' x 32' .

Yes, you just cut it to size. Also, you want to put it not just on the horizontal, but verticle sides of your door.

Actual window of the frame is 14"x23" if that helps. You can probably make it work if you folded it nicely?

I have the same issue. My width is 24' frame to frame. How can you pull 24' out of 19'.5"?? That would mean I would have to velcro the stationary glass door. Would look crappy I think.

Yes, for the height. For the width you might have to remove panels or just leave it like it is if you don't require a 'smoothness' when the door is close.

I looked at the construction of ours and you can cut either one side. But note the fabric material is hemmed along both sides and if you cut any side you my have raveling of the shade material. Also if you cut one side of the shade you will probably what to cut the upper and lower aluminum tubes. I would suggest that you order a shade to fit the width you need. I'm a do it your self person, retired Mechanical Engineer, and have a lot of home refurbishing experience. I would not cut the width because the material will fray over time.

I think they could be..I cut mine to fit a 21" window..there is a measuring system on bottom of shade...you cut evenly from both sides of shade...I am pretty sure there is extra space to cut more off.... I am not home to check but can let you know later today.

I got up on a ladder and measured. It is 72" and a smidge (less than 1/4"). That smidge may be partially because of the play on the hook part of the measuring tape. My shade is hanging in an open area on a front porch, not against a window. I guess it provides a slight shading, but the bright glare of the sun comes right through. I was hoping for shade like a patio umbrella provides, but this isn't it.

I do not know if the shade fits as it comes in the box, but you are able to cut it to fit windows. It's thin plastic so a scissor would easily trim it down. Hope that helps.

I took one of mine out of the window and measured it. It was 21" X 37", But I think it needs just a tad of wiggle-room to fit, at least on my windows. I mean, I think I could balance or just wedge it into the place if I only had 21" of window opening, but it wouldn't set correctly in the grooves I don't think.

I think you can leave out one of the top panels and then carefully cut off what you need to from the front panel and the one on the house. The top panels are all the same and that would make it 10'x18'. To make it a 19' you would have to cut some off of a panel and then I don't think it would look right as the panels have a upward bow to them and fit together. Good luck...

Well it's adjustable to fit almost any window. If it doesn't you can cut the plastic down to 12" as long as you can fit the exhaust which is about 10" long by 3" high out the window.

Well, you can! But it gonna look like its missing a part, and will not look good at all. But if you are thinking about removing it and putting another shade, yes you can!

The shade cannot be made narrower, as there is a minimum depth needed for the shade to be installed. Minimum depth for installation is 1-1/4" and for flush installation 1-1/2" is needed. The shade width can be trimmed to fit smaller windows. The 48-inch width can be trimmed to fit window widths 32-inches to 48-inches. Lastly, the length of the shade cannot be trimmed; for shorter window lengths, the fabric will stack nicely.

It's not intended to be cut from the factory. If you're wanting to take a risk and customize then here are my thoughts...I would not cut the top (with the axle where the shade rolls up), so that part will always be the stock width. I would say you can cut the shade material itself, along with the plastic at the bottom. You would basically end up with a shade that looks like this: \__/ Also, the material is a rubbery mesh, much like what you find on mesh style office chairs. It might start to fray if you cut it. Mine are stock and fray a bit anyways.

Sure, just measure carefully so that that the lengths of the 2x4s you cut for the top and the central brace leave a bit of overhang.
