Kit Prices calculated by the Porch Kit Estimator are based on two things:
1. The total length around the edge of your porch floor (to nearest whole foot).
[show simple floor plan here of porch attached to house. Include measurements noted below. Right justify.]
For example, if you have (or plan to have) a rectangular porch 20 feet long and projecting 8 feet out from the house , the total length around the front edge of your porch floor will be 8 + 20 + 8 = 36. Select 36 from the Total Length Around Edge of Porch Floor dropdown at the Estimator page.
2. Whether you already have Porch Posts or want to include them in the Kit price. If you indicate on the Estimator page that you want to include Porch Posts, we will estimate how many you will need based on the size of your porch and add their cost to the estimate.
The Estimator does NOT adjust for the following:
1. The space that is (or will be) occupied by Porch Posts. Once you indicate at the Quote/Order page how many Porch Post you have (or will need), the total length of Spandrels and balustrade (if any) that will be required will be reduced. This will lower the total cost of your Kit.
2. Opening(s) in railings for steps. If you want railings the total Kit cost will be lower due to less total porch balustrade or perhaps higher if you want railings down the steps.
The Quote/Order page for each Kit DOES take all of the above into account and also allows you to omit as many components as you wish, such as if you want to purchasing in stages, if you don't want railings, etc.
