6×8 (48 sq ft) is the smallest size we stock and is purpose-built for narrow condo balconies, Juliet balconies, and French-door alcoves where the opening is roughly the width of a single sliding patio door. At this width the shade closes the gap between the railing and the soffit so wind, rain spray, and direct sun stop hitting the door glass and the small seating zone behind it.
Because the 6-foot span is short, the shade uses the lightest housing in the lineup — under 30 lbs total — which matters on older condo buildings where soffit attachment load is a real constraint. HOA boards typically approve this size without modification because it never extends past a single unit's airspace and the slim cassette stays tucked above the railing line so neighboring units and the street view both stay clean.
