Measuring your Fence for Windscreen
- Make sure you begin at a terminal post (corner) and continue to the next terminal post. DO NOT HOLD YOUR TAPE UP TO THE FENCE. This will create a slack which could cause your windscreen to be too long.
- Measure inside tension bar to inside tension bar. You may disregard line posts (unless they are courtside). For ease of handling, remember that windscreen sections should not be more than 60 or 70 feet. EXACT MEASUREMENTS ARE NECESSARY (including feet and inches). Do not guess and do not round off inches to feet (either larger or smaller), NO TWO FENCES ARE IDENTICAL.
