Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Item
1. Gather the Necessary Tools
- To measure your item properly, you’ll need:
- A tape measure (preferably a fabric or flexible measuring tape)
- A pen and paper to record your measurements
- Make sure you measure in inches or centimeters depending on your preference.
2. Measure the Length
- What to measure: The length is the longest side of your item (e.g., for a sofa, it’s the distance from one arm to the other).
- How to measure: Start at one end and stretch the tape measure across the item to the other end. Ensure the tape is flat and not twisted.
3. Measure the Width
- What to measure: The width is the shorter side of your item (e.g., for a table, it’s the distance from one side to the other).
- How to measure: Measure across the item at its widest point. Keep the tape measure level to ensure an accurate reading.
4. Measure the Height (or Depth)
- What to measure: For items like furniture, you’ll need to measure the height or depth (depending on the item). This is particularly important for covers that need to fit over the top and sides.
- How to measure: Measure from the floor to the highest point of the item (e.g., the back of a chair or the top of a stackable item). For depth, measure from front to back.
5. Account for Special Features
- If your item has any unique features (like handles, buttons, or armrests), measure the extra parts as well. You may need to factor in these measurements to ensure the cover fits properly.
- For Handles/Armrests: Measure their height and width if they protrude from the main body of the item.
- For Outdoor Items (e.g., BBQs or Pools): Include any accessories that will need to be covered, such as tanks, hoses, or attachments.
Tips for Accurate Measurements
- Measure Twice: Always double-check your measurements to avoid errors. This will help ensure the best fit.
- Use a Flexible Measuring Tape: For oddly shaped items (like circular tables or rounded chairs), a flexible tape measure is essential for accuracy.
- Add Extra for a Looser Fit: If you prefer a looser fit or need additional room for custom features (e.g., padding), add an extra inch or two to each measurement.
