Appropriate Overhang Calculation
Adequate overhang is very critical to the life and performance
of a wood stile and rail door. A proper overhang will help
protect your door from the elements and extend the life of the
door. In most climate conditions the following formula can
be used to determine the appropriate amount of overhang:
X=1/2Y (where X is the length of the overhang required and Y
is the distance from the bottom of the door to the base of the
overhang.) For example, if the measurement from the bottom
of the door to the base of the overhang is 8 feet, the required
overhang is 4 feet. For more severe climates, very wet or dry
areas, the following formula should be used: Y=X.
