Measurements: Measure maximum inside measurement from forward of companionway to bottom and add about 2-3 inches. Then take width outside companionway sides and add height of sides over the roof, to get width of screen. Example: A 30" x 68" inside opening, would use a 36" x 72" screen.On the tapered screens, the tapering begins at the halfway point of the length, 34" and 39" respectively. For the 44 x 38 screen, the taper begins at 26 inches.

Companionway measurement:	Take time to measure before ordering.

1-First measure Top opening "A" distance 2-Measure Vertical Height "B" from top to bottom, where the sceen lead weight will stand 3-Add "A" to "B" plus approximately 3 inches to get total length of screen 4-Measure "C" distance, outside handrails, and add heigh of handrail over the roof, on each side, to get width of screen 5-On some boats, it is best to use a tapered screen, so measure "D" and add 1-2 inches on each sideNOTES: Don't worry, Companionway screens can be up to 20% longer and 10-15% larger than measured ideal. You can install a taller screen in positionning it a little forward, if possible, and remaining will lay on the bottom, outside of companionway entrance. Lead beads will also hold a wider than ideal screen. We now have convenient optionnal snap kits for easy installation inside dodger or if you do not have siderails.
Example: For a 2008 Beneteau Oceanis 37 we took the following measurements: 1-Measure "A": 38" 2-Measure "B": 36" 3-Add "A" to "B": 74" PLUS 3" = 77" 4-Measure "C": 32" PLUS 3" PLUS 3" = 38" 5-Measure "D": 21"We then choose a 40" x 77" companionway for a perfect fit (a little bit wider but OK).
