I'm interested in constructing an 8' x 24' ~ 32' unit. Is that possible with this type of kit? Are there any window framing included in the plans?

Yes it is possible to build this size with our brackets. You can purchase extra brackets to frame windows if you want.

Yes you can make any size under the whole size of the kit and no windows at all. We are just going top cover ours with Plexiglas to make it a bit more strong in the wind.

I believe the kit is expandable, their website offers additional pieces to add to it. There are no windows in this plan. You might be able to construct some yourself by ordering more connectors. As an FYI. you will need two people to put this together, also be aware that the plans are there but not the procedure, so you will have to figure out where to start and what steps to take next to assemble it. I started with the back wall and am working my way towards the front.

There are no window plans with this kit. I installed 4 24"x24" windows but I had to adjust spacing to make them fit. You probably would have the least problems if you made a 10' x 32' .

I'm afraid I'm not much help. I have casement windows and so it goes 44 inches, but that's farther than it is designed to go. I screwed the two pieces together as directed, but had to give them some extra support with Gorilla tape. Then again, you could probably put them in a 44" wide space in a double hung window because the weight of the window would hold it in place. BTW, I love the A/C unit.

The Wall kit IS included. It will fit 2x4 and 2x6 construction. If you have brick exterior, you may need to get longer through bolts. Mine was fine with brick and 2x4 construction. Very easy install.

I drilled holes on every window and added fiber optics. the problem I faced is that at the end they were so many cables I had to put the lamp under the model inside a box, but it looks amazing. I would also recommend photoetched parts and wood decks to make a wonderfull model

We did not use a window kit. We returned the unit because it was ineffective in Arizona heat.

Sorry, but that is difficult to answer without knowing the dimensions of the frame, etc. I would think you could build a wooden frame that would slide in between the window frame and the air conditioner, but it would need to be strong and tight enough so the unit won't be able to fall in or out. That worked for me with a different unit. I would call a handyman to do this!

Hi Robert - There is an extendable frame that attaches to the top of the unit (slides up and down along the outside edges of the unit). It comes with a corrugated plastic panel, that you cut to size, that slides into that frame. So be sure to measure twice, cut once, as this closes off the top of the window. Always err on the side of longer, so you can adjust if needed. Pretty simple.

You can build one. But this is the sort of thing where if you were to have the grand kids over or have a slumber party in the living room, this would be adequate for the night. FOR THE NIGHT. This isn't something you want to keep on using, everyday. If you want a frame, get the one from IKEA or get the other Shikibuton style on amazon that costs more.

They make a frame kit that fits 24' doors, just buy that kit instead of 'cutting-down" a larger frame. Much less hassle, and no chance of error, or mistakes, possibly ruining the frame which IS NOT covered by the manufacturers warranty! Capisce?

If you wanted to set up two "A" frames with a 4x6 span then no. You only have enough brackets in this kit to set up one "A" frame.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I am still trying to decide where to put ours. I MIGHT just mount it on a piece of foam board and hang it in the window. We only have 8 more states to go before it is complete.

build a frame, sandwich between 2 pcs of Plexiglas, hang in front of a window.

Of course you can get or make extra window kits. It's quite easy for me to think of many ways to temporarily cover and uncover a 5" hole. I would find it much easier to cover the hole rather than sit there watching bugs and stuff fly through it while saying "eww" or "eek" or something like that.

The unit does come with side panels...At least mine did come with the side panels and my guess is that they are continuing to ship with side panels for installation in a double-hung window. E. Baily

Debbie,There are many sources for the frames.You have to purchase separately.. I didn't purchase the frame because I am using the this unit as an internal room divider in my Garage. Don't buy the cheapest frame either, because they fall apart.Good Luck!

Well, i built a simple wood frame, but you could just as easily screw the material into the wall at the studs, and you can always patch the holes up with spackling when you move. Then use that 4 inch 1mm black felt tape around the borders. I like the tape. It finishes it ff nice and helps square up the picture. JVCC-felt06 is what I used.
