I purchased the 3/4" 4'x8' panels. There is approx. a 1.5 inch gap that you can double up and fit the panels in. I used a razor knife, black marker and a 4' level and cut the panels to fit. I removed the horizontal hurricane reinforcement panels and fit the Styrofoam panels in and then reinstalled the hurricane panels. Snug fit and looks great.

Take your time, measure twice and cut once

Good luck, total cost under $100.
