A.
Side 1 -- Longest Side
(?)
Measure from mounting position to mounting position from corner AB to corner AC. Seams will run parallel to this side. If a single turnbuckle is used at corner AB or AC, subtract 12 to 18 inches from that measurement. If both AB and AC use a turnbuckle at both corners subtract 24 to 36 inches from that measurement. Then enter the results in this field entry.

If both BA and BC use a turnbuckle at both corners subtract 24 to 36 inches from that measurement. Then enter the results in this field entry.
