100% broke that first drill bit on the aluminum. This is a great video. You can tell this guy is not very experienced with work like this or the tools he’s using….but he gives it a go and he does a great job. I’m sure he learned a few things along the way too. Well done man!!!
The wooden frame is probably a bad idea for a humid climate. Steel or Aluminium would be better. 2nd, a secondary horizontal support outside would be ideal for additional security and safety.
I also agree with those here who are commenting that this is one of the rare and best designs for a vertical windows air-conditioner installation. I am going to buy an air-conditioner for my son and install it in the vertical window of his room. Can you please give us a list of the tools and the supplies that you use to create your design?
Great work! Full points for a careful and conscientious job :) I would suggest score-n-snap the plexi to save yourself a lot of time and have cleaner cut lines. Also if you put a piece of plexi on both sides of the frame, the inner air gap will have some insulating properties (like a double-pane window) to improve the efficiency of your build. Thanks again for sharing your project!
this is the absolute best design I've seen so far. Have been wanting to install my own ac for vertical window and I think you just made the best video out there for myself.
Thank you for sharing this video! I kept seeing a/c’s everywhere with plywood covering the window where it was placed. I saw your video, a few times, and my project came out beautifully!
This video gave me the confidence to build a case for my window AC. Followed your design to a tee with some minor tweaks (like doing 2 panels of plexiglass to create an insulating air pocket). Thank you!!!
This was a great idea, thanks! I ended up routing a slot for the plexiglass to slide into vs screwing it on which worked out perfectly in case anyone wants to try that option
Love the no-talking video and your design... besides the loud saw sounds, it's actually relaxing to watch. Kurt Maupin's idea on routing a slot is a great suggestion. A quick paint job on the wood and it would look really first-rate!
Great video 👍 True story! Our cheap boss in the 80s bought us a used window AC from a yard sale for our little office. Little did he know the unit was a 220 Volt vs a 120 Volt that we needed. Lucky for us, one of the guys Dad worked as a electrician and gave him some great instructions on how to install a 220 Volt. Since our boss was cheap and didn’t care, we installed the window AC and asked our boss that we needed some money to purchase a circuit breaker, wiring, hardware, and a 220 Volt outlet and we would install the AC if he bought us lunch for a week. Surprisingly he agreed, I guess it was way cheaper than hiring an electrician. We made it work, got some good grub, and we were cool as a cucumber 😎❄️
Great job kid. I so enjoyed this without any commentary. You need a tablesaw when you get a bigger place. That will let you datto slots for the plexiglass. A putty knife is a nice way to tuck that foam clean. Really great getting it done with the tools you had to work with. You'll do.
I am moving alone and my windows sit on the front balcony, I was looking for a way to install my window unit to make me feel more safe and protect my property without the possibility of getting broken into. This has helped me so much! Thank you.
Best design and best for security! I would definitely use this on a ground floor window. I would sleep better at night. Paint trim white for a blended look and a thick peg stick to lock window. I will use this design. Great job !!
Trick for cutting that plexiglass. Just score the glass a few times with your knife, place against a solid straight edge ( work bench, table, ect.) Using your hand, firmly place pressure on plexiglass and table. Then simply snap off the piece, as you would sheet rock. Just my 2 cents tho
To say that your video is very enjoyable to watch is an understatement. I am also very fascinated to see how you can use those tools to make a frame and bracket that work so well. Thank you for sharing.
I had my handyman install the AC but it's still a work in progress. I had the gray foam strip and wasn't sure what to do with it. After watching this video, I was able to seal off the gap underneath the AC. Thanks for posting.
I used your idea but sketched a plan and had all the pieces except the plexi cut in a lumber yard and assembled it at home. There were some hacks but I'm pretty happy and AC is secure. Thanks!
I think this is a really great idea. I've been wanting to make something similar but wasn’t sure how to go about it. This looks sturdy and much nicer than a piece of plexiglass flapping with every breeze. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼
Yeah, that's one fine looking sliding window AC installation... WHY DOESN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT?! AH! WHY?! WHY MUST LIFE BE SO HARD?! WHY MUST I FAIL AT EVERY ATTEMPT AT WOODWORKING?! 😭
Essentially you need: 2x wood as tall as window frame 2x wood as wide as the AC unit 1x Plexi glass piece cut to size of frame - the height of your ac unit (Wood should be as thick as the sliding window section) *Screws to fix the frame together and attach Plexi glass *Flexi sealant for Plexi glass For added security I'd add a piece of wood behind the sliding section to stop people from being able to open the window *Wood glue for frame if you want it sturdier *Weather seal to put all around the frame just in case *You may need some aluminium angle to make the top bracket for the unit.
Great idea and design man. Just ordered my AC unit yesterday. I have side sliding windows as well, glad I found your video. Going to copy you exactly except I might try to put two layers of plexiglass with some foam insulation in between. One question, where did you get all those little strips of foam?
Great job. I did this exact same thing for a friend, but i cut a track all the way around the inside of the frame all 4 sides. I did 2 tracks one about a half inch apart so i could install the glass inside the frame not on the outside like you did. I did 2 pieces of glass not plexiglass to give it an insulating effect like a double pane window. I also painted the frame with a few good coats of white exterior paint. I made it to be permenant instead of being removed.
Beautiful. Lots of work, but so much easier to install and remove every year. I have found white foam at Lowe’s with their window weather stripping that is reusable but would give a neater look. Also consider 2 layers of the plexiglass if you have dual pane windows.
This is a terrific room air conditioner. Our main unit went out but this unit is just as good for my living area. My electric bill went down as well. Glad we got it.
Awesome job, I did the plexiglass for 8 years, made it fit in the tracks worked excellent but using duct tape sucked and I changed to gaff tape adheres better and no residue, 2 years ago landlord finally updated the windows and no more plexiglass. Wish your video had been up years ago 😂
Thank you for sharing this video!! I had a couple of 2x3s in my garage..ran to HD purchase the glass for about $50. I wish I had found your video earlier..it was 100° out there when I was putting it together!!!
That was impressive! Your thought process and handyman workmanship way surpasses anything I can do. If I had your talent, I think I would have just replaced the window. Thanks for the video
getting ready for summer season and gonna buy a unit. Im gonna use this video as a reference for my install. Thanks for making the video. Gonna save me time and money! cheers!
I had to do the same thing when I bought my AC unit. Its kind of funny that window manufacturers haven't thought about this and sell Window trim that would accommodate AC installations, sell it on Amazon as a recommended item and even charging $25 they would make a fortune.
This is the best video I've seen for this solution. Looks great actually. I'll be doing this instead of the plywood and duct tape setups that other people are doing.
Great job done ✔ 👏, as an installer I can't spend lots of time because of employer policies and hourly job restrictions ,we just go with a piece of wood or flexiglass!
I cut my aluminum the same way and use a 1x2 piece of wood on top or you could just flip it around and use it without the piece of wood and it’s still has the slight tilt for water drainage,I haven’t made a frame for mine and it works great to for quick install or removal. I did the reversed aluminum for my neighbors ac and didn’t used a piece of wood behind it. Will be trying similar like this for a midea u install soon.
This is definitely much better than what I did a couple days ago. It did not help that I was scrambling to find an AC and installing the same morning on the hottest day ever here in the Pacific NW. Will redo the install similar to this later.
I watched your video and I decided to build myself one! I was in the market for a new ac and i wanted to try the window kind but we have sliding windows so your video was a great help to me! I built it today and it looks great!! Thank you for posting your work!
Thanks bro great idea. I will be making The same thing with a few modifications and make it a bit more secure as I live on 1st story and need it to be strong. My table saw will be very appreciated.
Excellent project & very well done + shown. Also admire the patience you have in the face of some very idiotic knocks & obviously stupid negative comments.
I like that you can still use the window a bit. 13:00 - Oh... if you don't block this part, then air and bugs can get in. You either need a mini fly-screen, or if you still wanna use the window but without a fly screen, thennnn... I don't yet know.
Great video! Question, the metal bracket you made was nice but could you have used the existing metal bracket and just filled the gap in the corners with a piece of foam? I'm trying to avoid buying a piece of metal and cutting it, etc. Thanks!
The bracket that came with it was plastic. I didn't like the way it sat and worried about it breaking and sending my AC out the window, so I made one out of metal. If your confident in yours it should be fine.
@@inthegarage4624 Thank you for your reply! I made a setup almost exactly as yours with a few small modifications because my window and ac was a little different but it worked out great! Your video made it possible, so thank you. The bracket that came with my AC unit was a thick piece of metal so I didn't need to change it but I had to screw a piece of 2x4 to it. This allowed me to screw the AC wood frame to the 2x4 that was connected to the metal bracket so it held the AC unit very strong. Thanks again!
All you need to do to cut plexiglass is a razor blade/exacto. Make your measurements for the cuts you will need and mark them. Then make one pass with the razor blade/exacto and then snap the plexiglass. It will break along the scoring there is no need to cut it all the way through. It is designed to snap after being scored.
A much better solution than what's provided in the box... and it requires another trip to the hardware store, which is closed, so my daughter is going to have to sleep in the basement for one more night.
I know people are complaining about the amount of work, however, I would have painted them or even stained them to match more with the window. Great job though.
Wow amazing work...only thing I would do instead of putting the foam on the inside of the sliding window 13:10 I would take it out and put the foam on the exterior side so no dust can build up in between the window and slide.
I like everything except how you fed the wood through the saw. DANGEROUS with your hand in front of the saw. ok Back to how awesome this design is love it ..Thanks for the great video
I like the first way better. Tbh I never put a air conditioner in my window properly and it always worked just fine. That plexiglass And duct tape I right up my alley. I'm going to Lowes to get some today :)
FYI for anyone that wants to do this, plexiglass is really expensive, you can just use melamine board or something. You don’t have to see through it if you don’t want to.
Lil plexi glass the most durable when it comes to sturdy glass but also the hardest to decorate an interior with without the right tools not a bad idea
Thanks! I didn't think to make a parts list, sorry. Basically just a couple 2x2's, I can't remember if they were 6 or 8 ft, a clear acrylic sheet (Plexiglas), 3.5" exterior wood screws, silicone sealer, and a couple rolls of AC weatherstripping. I bought it all at Lowes.
@@inthegarage4624 Awesome! Yeah, I went to Lowe''s and bought the material you used and I tried to see what kind of materials you had. Thank you for the video guidance! Great design!!! I will send you a pic once I have it installed. THANKS!!!
He’s an expert! 👍🤛👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 nice job!! Well I’m gonna try, if I build a 🪜 and shelf’s and a bench for my place I hope this project comes out good as yours. Thank you. Btw so In the outside I won’t need nothing to hold the AC like a bracket? Or something just to make sure is not going to fall down from my 2nd floor? Just asking
i had my doubts when i saw that thing in the begging but wow ima make it my goal to do my frame like yours you've inspired me don't mean to sound corny
We just put ours up....and it looks awful. We have to use cardboard to cover the open space and black gorilla tape to seal everything 😭 It works but it's ugly to look at and I'm sure we have some gaps somewhere. This looks perfect!
What are the pieces of black foam called and how well has it helped insulate your sliding window? Is this something you could pick up at Home Depot or Lowes?
100% broke that first drill bit on the aluminum. This is a great video. You can tell this guy is not very experienced with work like this or the tools he’s using….but he gives it a go and he does a great job. I’m sure he learned a few things along the way too. Well done man!!!

@@Airbender24B you can also use a table saw with some dado blades or just do a few passes with a regular blade to get the slot as well.
Great design! But the AC should be tilting downward so that the condensation doesn't come inside.

Essentially you need:
2x wood as tall as window frame
2x wood as wide as the AC unit
1x Plexi glass piece cut to size of frame - the height of your ac unit

*Screws to fix the frame together and attach Plexi glass
*Flexi sealant for Plexi glass
For added security I'd add a piece of wood behind the sliding section to stop people from being able to open the window
*Wood glue for frame if you want it sturdier
*Weather seal to put all around the frame just in case
*You may need some aluminium angle to make the top bracket for the unit.
Thank you for thinking of me. 🥺

Use white composite trim "wood" for the frame to match the window.
I certainly admire your skills
Did anyone teach you or did you build things as a small child?
Very nice job....Did the same before with only manual tools...
What are the pieces of black foam called and how well has it helped insulate your sliding window? Is this something you could pick up at Home Depot or Lowes?
It's air conditioner weatherstripping. I found it at Lowes, comes in a small roll. Works well to close the gaps and keep the hot air out.
I need to hire someone to do this for me 😭
This is exactly what I needed. Just saved me several hundred dollars from buying more expensive units.
