measure the beading that fits into the awning rail. if this beading goes ground to ground then this is the full size of the awning to be sold. IF it only goes to the end of the awning rail you need to add on the distance from the ground to the start of the awning rail at both sides. you will not sell it if you do not know the full size.

Every awning I've ever had ( and that's quite few) has had a size tag sewn in somewhere along the beading edge.
