How to Measure Pole/Rod Pocket Panel Width?
- Measure the width of your window or area you would like to cover.
- Add 2-4 inches on each side of the window for overlap (if you have molding on your window then add 2-4” beyond the window molding on each side). Go farther if you would like the drapes to stack off the window.
- Take that number and order 2 panels to get proper fullness.
Example:- I have a window that is 46 inches and a 2 inch molding around it.
- I add 2 inches on each side from the outside of molding, this gives me 54 inches total.
- I would order 2 panels that are 54 inches each.
- Measure from the top of the pole and add the pole size to allow “take-up” for finished length.
- If you would like to have a puddle look add 2-8 inches.
Example:- I have a length of 82 from the top of my pole to the bottom of the floor.
- I am using a 2” pole to hang my drapes on, so I add 2 inches for the “take up” by my pole.
- My finished length would be 84 inches.

- I need to order 2 Pleated panels 25 inches each to get the correct fullness.
- Measure from the bottom of the pole, ring or fixed drapery hook to the floor.
