Take precise measurements of the deck lengths where glass railings will be installed. For shorter sections, measure from the outside corner of one template to the outside corner of the next. For longer spans exceeding a single tape measure's length, mark an intermediate point (e.g., 20 feet) on the deck, measure to that point from one side, and then measure from that point to the end on the other side. Sum these measurements for the total length. These accurate measurements will be provided to Viewrail for ordering the custom-sized glass panels and corresponding hardware.

All you have to do is take the measurement from outside corner to outside corner. However, in areas where the span is too long, even for a tape measure, I simply mark a line where 20 feet on one side reach and then measure the rest on the other side of the deck. That way, I can easily combine these two measurements into one and provide it to VR. For this entire terrace, all I had to do was give Vil three measurements in total. 1, 2
