Do-it Yourself

Need help measuring your existing shutters or hardware? We've created the guides in this section to ensure that your new custom Timberlane shutters will achieve the best possible fit. While we recommend letting your contractor handle the heavy lifting, Timberlane understands that some jobs require a personal touch. If you are the DIY type this section is handcrafted just for you!


Measuring

First of all, this section applies ONLY to do-it-yourself-types. If you would like to turn the entire job over to your contractor, that's perfectly acceptable, and will give you that much more time to spend choosing the style and configuration of your gorgeous new shutters. Learn More »


Radius Topped Shutters

Obviously, all windows aren't created square. Radius top windows prove a special measuring challenge. When ordering radius top shutters, please supply Timberlane with these measurements as shown on this page. While this might sound technical, it's less effort when you apply a visual. Learn More »


Measuring Hardware

Measure the window on the inside edge of the casement, as if the shutters would be closed. This measurement is the "pair width" (equal to twice the width of one shutter). If your shutters will be functional, deduct approximately 1/2" for clearance. If your shutters will remain open at all times, rounding off to the closest inch is acceptable. Learn More »
