1.
Continue mounting wall boards up to the desired height to install the window
(POS. 24);
row 7
is the maximum height.
2.
If installing an add-on window*, decide on its placement. It can sit as high or low
as you wish, as long as
there is at least one board
atop the window frame, and it
is at least twelve inches away from the corner.
3.
To create an opening in the wall, start by measuring the window's width inside the
U-shaped channel. This is the length that you have to omit from your wall boards.
Next, add a quarter-inch to ensure the window slides in easily.
4.
Use a handsaw to cut the first two boards.
5.
Slide in the window(s). The window's
interior side
has holes for window handles
and the
exterior
– a brown aluminum weather guard
at the bottom
.
*Please refer to the add-on window installation manual for details.
NOTE.
A double window included in the kit
can be installed on either
of the side walls.
TRICK
If you have
warped boards
, use them near the bottom of the construction - the weight of
the rest of the structure forces them to straighten out faster:
•
To install a board with a propeller-like warp, "hug" it with two floorboards
vertically, use a clamp to form a rigid channel, and then use a mallet for
seating the board into place. Keep the clamp on until you install the next
couple of rows.
•
To install a board that is bowing inwards or outwards the shed, use your hand
to push it in the desired direction, then use a mallet to properly seat it.
