This was the most detailed and helpful window install for shed I’ve stumbled across. I’m less nervous about adding a window to my she shed. Thanks so much!
When you apply the caulking over the flashing on the outside of the wall you should not apply caulking across the bottom of the window opening (14:30 in video - th-cam.com/video/al6X6ygJQXg/w-d-xo.html). If any water does get behind the window flange it will drain away if there is no caulking across the bottom..
Something about “safety first” even from someone who obviously knows more than you is reaffirming for a beginner like me. I shouldn’t stress out or get frustrated just because Im taking my time taking things slow and making sure I understand what I am doing and doing it carefully. Thanks Brother! Very clear and informative video.
Only detail I would've added, depending on how much rain you get with your minimal gable roof overhang, would be to angle the upper and lower stud wood the window sits in up about 3 degrees like a slight hill, so basically anything missed by caulking and flashing, gravity will ensure that water drips out of the window, if it were to ever get in. Fantastically detailed video, whether this is done or not! Thank you!
I've also heard that you shouldn't caulk the bottom outside of the window so that any leaks could drain out. But then again it's just a shed!! Solid job GRINGO!
Will those t1-11 vertical grooves above the window channel water down into your window seam underneath the flashing tape? Maybe those grooves above the window should be filled with a high quality calk? to block such passage? Even that calking of the grooves is a less than ideal setting, as the occupant (you or somebody down the road) would have to periodically check the condition of that calk from year to year.... While you might do it, some other unaware homeowner/occupant might not...?
Great video but definitely start from the bottom when flashing the opening and keep layer on top as you go up. This creates a “step” for moisture or any water/rain that might get in to go all the way down instead of finding its way to the framing.
Thank you so much for this! I bought the same exact window and don’t want to pay someone to install this… After seeing this I know I can do it. You are the man!
Thank you for the video. Looks great to me and easy to follow what you did. Build a DIY 10x12 shed from the ground up... Just windows and door left. Great info
I am so happy to have found this video! I need windows in my new garage (built by a shed company so has the exact siding yours has) for ventilation. I have been determined to just find small windows that will fit between the studs so I don’t have to cut them. That limits me to basement windows turned sideways or RV windows. Yeah I know, not attractive. But easy. After watching this, I’m certain I can do it. Late 50s single woman here who has built her own decks and such, but windows have me shaking in my boots. Headed to town for new windows!
Thanks so much for this! My tiny house loft needed some nice cross breeze but I was nervous about cutting into an already finished wall! Super awesome 👏🏻
Thanks so much I was so scared to put a window in by myself but you just showed me how and I’m about to do it.. I’m turning a shed to a tiny house so thanks again . Great tutorial.
Love the way you supported the wall and window. Some builders waste so much wood with king studs and headers that just aren't necessary. Yours is exactly what I need.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that type of window( with the flange for screws) supposed to be installed BEFORE the siding goes on. There's replacement windows for when u already have the siding on the house. Thats probably going to leak.
@5150GringoGarage, bro I've been converting our shed into our custom shirt factory, and have been looking for simple, easy to understand vids on how to frame a window, and hands down this is probably one of the BEST I've come across. Appreciate you, I just hit the sub button. Blessings and Happy 4th!!
Nice job! I am framing my shed now and watching your video while in Lowe's selecting windows. Your video helped me determine I could buy that same type of window for the shed I am building. Thank you.
Very well done! I have an identical shed and would love windows. but small ones instead. Since I have never installed windows either, this video makes it so easy. I have all the needed tools so just need to buy screws, window, 2x4 and flashing. Thanks for making such a great video!
Beautiful job except the flashing was done wrong. It needs to be a solid piece in the bottom corners and no caulk across the bottom. The flashing needs to be rolled, not just pressed by your hand. Looks great, though!
why not need insulation tape at top of window? thank you for this video. I am going to install a small window in by barn. There is already a cutout, but I am putting in a smaller size window and need to frame it.
Thank you sooooooo much you just saved me so much money cause I have a 12x28 and want 8 windows but it only came with 2 lol if you decide to add a window to the door please do a video too. Lol
This was the best dyi video I have seen in a long time. I am going to add two additional windows myself . You wouldn’t happen to doing a video on adding transoms to your shed next ? Lol I hope so . I’ll be following! Great job!
I think these dynamic windows will most def keep fluid from accumulating on my wood floors. You know..... the wood floors you're gonna install on your next DIY. #BadassDIYDad #WindowWizard #IfTheShedsRockin (Don't come knockin').
Very cool, exactly what I was looking for. Trying it this weekend, wish me luck! Where did you find the flashing tape? Home Depot only carried ones that seemed way thicker from what you used.
I'm here because I'm trying to put a window in a shed. There is no siding yet, just the stud walls. I found a "remodel" window used and I'd like to use it. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on using remodel window vs. new construction windows?
You could've slid the window a smidgen to the left or to the right and only cut one of the studs and used the one that you avoided to be the frame on that side.Good job otherwise.
Your camera mans work made me feel dizzy, it's all over the place, I had to stop watching. Shame really, this comment is not a reflection of your work. Best wishes.
Fantastic video! I’m a 63 year old grandma and I’m going to install my own shed window after watching this.
I'm 58 and I already have my window. With such great, clear instructions I'm confident I can do it!
This was the most detailed and helpful window install for shed I’ve stumbled across. I’m less nervous about adding a window to my she shed. Thanks so much!
Hard to find an awesome detailed video for someone who’s never installed a window before! Single mom and am learning to do things myself! Thank you!

Thats a load bearing wall supporting the roof..
@@JBCarrera54 Right, and he supports it properly, not over the top and I appreciate that.

Nice one buddy. I’m Looking to do the same. First I need to find a decent 2nd hand window as they are really expensive new.
Great video thanks even a newbie like me could follow your instructions. Thank you so much . Loved it
Great teacher.What was more helpful is that you give us a list of tools and one can see how to use them .Helpful,,

Fantastic!!! Thank you so much for the video! So well done and very easy for me, to install on my she shed!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for making and sharing this vid. I’m planning a shed build, didn’t realise I could have real windows for such an affordable price. Good work 💪
Thank you brother. You did it right. I learned a lot from you and I was able to do mine by myself.
Seen nails used and screws, which is better? Personally I feel screws are because they don't pop out...
What size are these windows and where did you get them
Simple man explanation. Thank you
Great video! I'll be installing the same windows in my kids fort this weekend. Glad I found this video
Thank you sooooooo much you just saved me so much money cause I have a 12x28 and want 8 windows but it only came with 2 lol if you decide to add a window to the door please do a video too. Lol
How did it go? I’m a 62 yr old recently retired. Want to replace old windows in my shed.🤞🏻
Thank you for this video… that’s exactly what I needed to learn. 👍
This was the best dyi video I have seen in a long time.
I am going to add two additional windows myself .
You wouldn’t happen to doing a video on adding transoms to your shed next ? Lol
I hope so . I’ll be following!
Great job!
Thank you so much!! Not nearly as complicated as I thought 👍
Great informative video thanks for sharing.
Excellent, clear and to the point...very well explained
This is an amazing tutorial! Thanks so much
how much bigger was rough opening than window?
Sir, why did you not put the flash tape on the upper side of the frame?
Great job pal.
Isn't this a newly built shed? Why not build with the studs already the width of the window? Genuinely curious.
For them to put windows in was several hundred each window more
Great video! Very detailed and I am installing mine today.

Beautiful job
Hi what kind of window is that?
I'm here because I'm trying to put a window in a shed. There is no siding yet, just the stud walls. I found a "remodel" window used and I'd like to use it. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on using remodel window vs. new construction windows?
This is not how you install a window.. this idiot mounted the window on top of the exterior siding, which is completely and utterly wrong.
Thank you!!
Informative video thank you. I’m a little seasick though… Camera operator needs a little training, ha ha.
Gracias amigo me enseñaste me salvaste de pagar
Putting in your own Shantee?
Good video! Cheers!
Great job!
Thank you
Exactly what I was looking for thank you.
THANKS!!!
SUPER!
You could've slid the window a smidgen to the left or to the right and only cut one of the studs and used the one that you avoided to be the frame on that side.Good job otherwise.
Gotta be centered. That would drive me nuts
Nice!
Nice
Thanks for the video but the camera person needs to stop shaking!! Lol
Got dizzy watch this video thanks to camera work.
Got so dizzy watching the video, the camera moves too much
😳
get a air nailer dude much easier and faster
Your camera mans work made me feel dizzy, it's all over the place, I had to stop watching. Shame really, this comment is not a reflection of your work. Best wishes.
You did that like a pro
Flashing start from the buttom!!!!
Thank you
