Wide, square-ish, and off-center
Farmhouse basins are bigger than a standard sink and shaped nothing like the sinks accessories are designed for — wider rims, corners closer to square, and a drain that's often set back rather than centered.
Shape changes the problem
A generic caddy is built for a standard-width rim and a centered drain. Farmhouse rims are wider, so a caddy sized for a normal sink either doesn't reach or sits loose on the edge.
The corners are close to square, so a caddy designed for a rounded rim leaves a gap or overhangs the edge — the deck follows your rim's actual shape instead, square corners included. And the drain is often offset toward the back, which means a fall line built for a centered drain runs the wrong way and pools instead of clearing.
Both are things a scan resolves before anything is made.
What the scan gets right here
-
Rim width
Apron-front rims are wider than a standard sink's. The deck is drawn from yours, so the hook reaches the edge instead of stopping short of it.
-
Square-ish corners
A caddy shaped for a rounded rim either gaps or overhangs on a farmhouse basin. The deck follows the corners you actually have.
-
Off-center drain
Farmhouse drains often sit toward the back. The fall runs to where yours is, not to the middle by default.

My sink is fireclay — does that matter?
Can it span the whole basin?
Will it scratch the glaze?
Does my phone need LiDAR?
Is a double-bowl farmhouse sink supported?
