I've watched several videos trying to figure out how to install a couple windows on my new shed and none were as good as this video. Plan on installing them tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
This video was the BEST, by far, of all the videos I've wasted hours watching. Even the "pros" and "experts" couldn't come close. Thank you so much for this!
Just found your great video! I ordered the 24x36 Tafco you linked below from Home Depot and was wanting to get a head start. Can't find the rough opening deminsions. I'll be using LP Smart Siding
Thank you so much for the informative video! I recently purchased a 12×14 shed and a couple windows for it at a yard sale. I can plumb anything but this will be my first attempt at framing windows, so wish me luck!
Great video, what series are your windows? I’m have trouble finding windows where the 1x4 sit flush with the windows. The ones at the big box stores have 1 1/8” sticking out from the nail flange. Thanks
it was this one... www.homedepot.com/p/American-Craftsman-37-75-in-x-56-75-in-70-Series-White-Double-Hung-Low-E-Argon-Glass-Vinyl-Fin-with-J-Window-Screen-Incl-70-DH-FIN/203157331
I had to watch your video again, because I am building a new garage. I will be installing windows for the next few days. Have you ever had a problem with this window leaking from the top? Some people install a new construction window to the framework. Then they put the T 1-11 siding over the window flange. Other people may choose to install the window after the T 1-11 siding has aready been hung. Which do you think is best?
Thank you for sharing this video. Have you ever considered using a Z bar flashing metal across the top of a window? I saw a UA-cam video on it. I thought I would ask your opinion.
I seen some folks do that. I will do a side by side install video and have a "sprinkler" run on it for few days. I think it will be not much of a difference vs having seal tape, but it will be a cool test.
you do not use any flashing at the top, yet you put tape @ the bottom, how do you know the water will run outside and not inside??? When I was a young man using roofing barbs to nail windows, was definitely a nono, use pan head screws , and check the function of the window "BEFORE" you nail it off! The only thing that protects this window from leaking is the overhang!!!!
Hey there! On the top I plan to add trim to the windows, hopefully that would prevent water. Great comments overall... i do agree having a overhang will prevent the window leak.... Thanks for watching.

You got this! good luck.
Great video. Good job - keep them coming! Have you put windows in a shipping container? That’d be a good video.
great idea... and yes! it would be good content for the channel. I've noted it down. Thanks for watching.
Nice job! Very simple and straight forward.
Did you paint or stain your smart side?
I ended up painting… thanks for watching
Thanks, great job on the video very helpful and yes letting the water have a exit is s great idea, I like it.
Love it!! thanks for watching.
Oi cara, video bacana viu! Conselho prático é sempre útil, obrigado
Valeu! Obrigado pelo comentário. Estou tentando compartilhar o máximo que posso.
Is the same method of installation used in the North (Ohio/Dayton area?) Just curious if there are more steps since I saw you are in Georgia! Thanks!

Thank you very much, I have just purchased a she from Home Depot and wanted to install a window and now I am able to do so.=
Great! I love when it works out!Thanks for watching.
Very clear & helpful.
question: WHY is it better to use roofing nails than screws to fasten the window?
He mentioned that the screw heads can sometimes get in the way of the exterior trim
thanks! great explanation.
I am glad you liked it.
Thank you so much!
Happy to help!

Yes, there are few version on how to install windows, i say if you flash it properly, both works fine. Good luck on your build.

I'm reusing the windows in my kitchen. They have a nailing fin but no predrilled holes so I have to drill my own.
I decking screws for everything they grip so well…
That’s a good idea, however they are a bit pricey for some projects. Thanks for watching!!!
Brasileiro? What part of the states are you in
Olá!!! I am in Georgia, right outside Atlanta.
Why do we need to put a nail in every hole?
It's recommend bu the manufacturer, i know it sounds overkill.
You did not flash the insides & top!!! Then, you flash over the Nailer. Yes, never tape the bottom after the window install.
It's supposed to be under the sheating

wtf thats it? nothing to cover the tape?
What do you recommend?
@@EverydayShed no. i mean u can jus leave it like that?
@@outoftime788he said at the end of the video he still has to trim out the shed so the window will get trim covering the tape
