Measuring Instructions

How To Measure Aluminum Siding

Our recreational vehicle aluminum siding is custom fabricated to order. Prices are based on the square foot and depend on the specific profile or lock pattern requested. The more information you can give us, the more accurately we can reproduce what you are looking for.

  • Make, model and year of trailer to assist in identifying colors and profiles
  • Pictures are also a big help.

We require a paper trail for all orders, whether it be email or fax. This helps to avoid any discrepancies when cutting your order.

Payment is required up front before your order is cut.

Square Foot Calculations

  • Cut size is Width (inches) X Length (inches) / (divide by) 144 = Square Footage
  • When determining the dimensions of the siding, you will likely find it easier and more accurate to measure the old pieces while still on the unit (vehicle).
  • When ordering, please state your dimensions as: WIDTH (first) X LENGTH (second)
  • Start at the top and simply measure what you see from lock to lock on each piece. (finished size)
