Use a chalk line and level. Its just easier than trying to eyeball whether the awning or screen is even.

When in doubt, call the manufacturers customer service line.In a decent afternoon of work, you can have a lovely retractable awning or drop screen installed over a patio, garden, eating area, walkway - wherever you want to make a pleasing, comfortably shaded haven.
A drop screen usually enhances an existing structural feature, such as a door or window, or as panels to enclose a porch, lanai, or gazebo. A drop screen requires a sturdy beam to mount to and possibly a door frame or post to fix the side guides to. After finding the location, simply measure the width of the area from side to side on the interior of the frame (for an inside mount) and add for the width of the side guides if mounted outside the window frame. Then measure the height of the screen, going from the inside (or bottom) of the top frame to the bottom of the threshold for the height; for an outside mount, add the size of the headerbox and bottom rail to the height measurement. Finding an ideal retractable awning location has a few other factors to consider.
