Those of you with Shade Pro or Carefree can you provide the drop measurement? My GT5 31L is in the shop so I can’t measure the drop and I’d like to order. I know I want the zipper option with the leave in skirt to roll up with the awning. From my specs I believe my width is 19’. Just need help with the drop. Thanks.

The standard height is I think 7', which does not include the portion connected to the awning roller. But they an be ordered in whatever drop length you desire

First off I am a J & J Sunshade/Mats user/lover! Your awning is High and Long so the 2pc. zipper is the way to go,also something to think about is awning support poles! The weight of the screen,the tension applied with bungee straps and add WIND to this Big sail,that is a Lot to ask of the Little Alum arms that have the Auto Dump slots! You mentioned the Beach,these shades and awning are Nice for Beach use "IF Properly Held Down & Up with Poles"! Youroo!!

I have the same shade, very well made, the slandered drop is 6' and you pay extra per foot for both the parts, it will come with a 12 " drop for the pole. You van make that longer, depending of the height you need to reach it. I do not roll that piece up as they say you can do, I tried it and it kinda of makes your material of the awning bulky. Mine is a little short, I should have gotten the 7th foot drop for my awning. But it still works fine, and I was pinching penny's on it. They are pricy to others, but very well made as stated.🐸

I measured my awning drop and ordered my shade Pro. I don't know if I miss measured or what, but when I got it, it was too long. I called Shade Pro and discussed the problem with them. They had me send the skirt panel back and they cut it in half. It was originally 2', now it's 1' works great. Excellent quality and workmanship. It also helps hold the awning down when the wind gets a little brisk.

I bought a 2’ drop and a 6’ drop and took them to a place in Winter Haven Florida and had a zipper sewn on them so if a storm comes up I can unzip the 6’ drop and roll the awning up with the 2’ drop still on it! Works great!Click image for larger version
