I make a very strong, durable wooden window using using pressure treated C18 construction timber 75 x 47mm (2 x 3"'s) and a virtually unbreakable 6mm polycarbonate sheet. No fancy joints, no fancy tools.

I like the way you cut the groove for the perspex, I never thought a C.S. could do such accurate work as that. You have to really look around the local suppliers and DIY stores for timber: they don't all cut their wood in the same way, so you may find some don't sell stock in the most convenient sizes; and there can be quite a price range too. I use a merchant 10 miles away from me because they have all sizes in all lengths for you to go through and pick out what you want and the price is good too. I have seen a 1/4 board of ply in B&Q costs more than a whole board there!

Hi there Ade. Agree with your comments mate. I was also surprised at how well the circular saw did even though the blade was getting rather blunt and I had to use a bit of force to push it through. Take care, Des

Couldn’t you adjust the fence on your circular saw and run the blade straight down the middle of the groove removing the waste in the middle.

In future I would do it so you have beads on the inside so the glass / poly if it gets damaged can easily be replaced. Looking good though mate

@21stcenturycaveman33 4 жыл бұрын

Hi there. That's certainly one way of doing it but I'm not sure it would make much difference to be honest as the panel is very well set in the grooves with silicone and would be quite difficult to remove in either scenario. Thanks for your views. Des

@Pyewack3t 4 жыл бұрын

It looks easily replaceable. Just unscrew the bottom of the frame and slide your new glass in then screw the bottom back on. Simple designs are often the best.

I must admit I never thought of polycarbonate I’m building my own 3x3m pent roof(built against end wall of my garage ) workshop. Was thinking of using 2 layers of glass but think a single sheet will give me what I need in terms of insulation

@21stcenturycaveman33 Жыл бұрын

Mate, absolutely no point whatsoever using glass at all. There are much better alternatives out there which are lighter, significantly stronger, burglar proof, etc. You just need to make sure it's as clear as possible. Downsides: a little bit more difficult to clean. Other than that, by far the best. Thanks for watching, DEs

@naebadyersel 2 жыл бұрын

hi, i made the window like you did with polycarbonate glass etc and routed the channels for it to sit it but my problem is that the wood on the bottom of the window is sagging. trying to think of a way to stop the sag

@SteS 4 жыл бұрын

5:45 If you had a tablesaw then you could set the height to the right height and set the fence to the outside edge of the mortice and rip down one side. Rotate the board 180 and do the same as before. Do this for all pieces. Set the fence again to the centre of the mortice and do all pieces. Obviously a router is the best method.

@21stcenturycaveman33 4 жыл бұрын

That makes a lot of sense mate. Unfortunately, I only have some pretty basic tools so I have to wing it and improvise a lot of the time. ATB, Des

@SteS 4 жыл бұрын

@@21stcenturycaveman33 another way could work is if you installed some timber molding, install the polycarbonate and then install some more molding in the other side to sandwich it in place. This would be good if the plastic should ever break instead of having to take out the whole frame to replace the poly.

Hello, I'm taking inspiration from your work to make the same type of window for my shed but a doubt arises: seeing the video I notice that there is no edge or seal around your window, but when it rains heavily it doesn't does the water get inside? Thanks F.

@21stcenturycaveman33 3 жыл бұрын

Really good point that. There is no water ingress in heavy rain but perhaps that's because there is an overhang on the roof? It should be quite easy to put some edging or a seal around the outside or inside the window which should do the job though. Good point that my friend, Des

@LargoCiospeFrancesco 3 жыл бұрын

@@21stcenturycaveman33 Ok, could be roof overhang made rain difficult to enter, unless rain comes sideways. My window will be on the side where overhang there's not, so I will study some insulation around the window chassis like soft rubber adhesive stripes.

@21stcenturycaveman33 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there and thanks for dropping by. Timber will always swell and contract according to the seasons and is to be expected. Treated timber will of course reduce the effect of swelling due to saturation with water but is mainly to prevent rot and degradation. Best, Des
