Directions    
The following form will allow you to compare framing material costs of a GatorStitch™/Gatorshield® frame to an aluminum staple-in frame when building either an awning or a canopy (see images below). First, enter your costs per linear foot in each of the four text boxes in the "Material Costs" section. Make sure to use a decimal point for cents, eg. ".75" or "1.12" (w/o the quotation marks).
Then click either the "Awning" button or the "Canopy" button to calculate totals, based on the dimensions of the sample projects illustrated below.
