My window is wider than 36". Ideas on how to extend the side pieces to cover the gap?

The pieces that the feeder come with extend pretty far out. Just keep in mind that the opening for the birds will be quite big and will allow large birds in If you extend all the way out using the wood supplied. I try to keep my opening small so as to only attact the smaller birds. You could get a handyman to customize your opening so you can keep the opening small. Also, something to consider. I live in California where the weather is mild and I don't mind that the fit isn't real snug. The unit is made with high quality wood, but using a bit of sealing tape helps to keep drafts out.. I would get a handyman to help with a more custom fit for a wide opening. Truly this is a great addition to my bedroom. Love getting up to little birds feeding nearly right infront of my face. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions let me know.

I just installed my rods and the distance between the wall and the back of the draw plate is 2", but it can be adjusted out one more inch to make it 3" clearance. But then there is the thickness of the window frame(in my case the clearance 1 1/2"--2 1/2". There are rods that have an extra inside rod just for sheers behind drapes or they used to make them because I had several of them years ago. If you are not sure where studs are, you might need to get screws that expand.

I don't use the extenders. My fan fits in the window casement so I leave the window screen in place. Very simple solution.

You have about 14' wide to work with beyond that the extender piece will come out.

This will fit openings between 34" to 63" wide. It will not work for a 30" space.

No. Our window is 39" wide. It only means with the extenders that are included with it will cover the opening up to 31". I ordered additional slide on extenders directly from Holmes to fully cover the opening of our window. You wouldn't need to do this, but we have old windows w/o screens, so having it covered helps with flies.

My window is 30" and the side panel are not fully extended so it seems likely.

They will not extend that far, my window is 31-32" and they will extend maybe another inch on each side, but definitely not 39". They might sell extenders though. Hope this helps. Its a great machine though!

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

The maximum is 36 inches. You will need to use some material to cover the extra 4 inches.

It will extend to 36" end to end. I love it but do have to add the bars that go inside the extension have a little rust on them

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.

36 is all mine will fit. The unit is a plastic piece with 2 slide out pieces. These could be replaced with almost any plastic piece to make them fit larger windows but the way it came, 36" is it. It also needs a small amount of soft material, foam, if you want an insect proof installation.

You can have this configured as wide open or zig zag. Simply fold the middle joint forward and slide the shelves through. It will shorten the overall width, so the shelves will stick out more on both sides.
