This video will show you an inexpensive shed window option that uses arcylic / plexiglas panels instead of a standard glass window. This video will show you how to install trim around the shed window and how to mount the acrylic shed window panel in place. Overall, this inexpensive shed window option can save you a few hundred bucks!
There are many different ways to install a shed window, but this method worked for my Modern Shed - especially since these windows were up high on my shed and did not require any open/close functionality.

Just a thought, your local window or glass store usually will cut glass to order. I use them for projects all the time, you could get these panels in nice thick glass for the cost of those thin sheets. Then you wouldn't worry about them scratching or hazing over time.
I am building a similar shed and I was able to get 9" x 48" X 1/4 windows for $15 a piece at EStreet plastics in Dallas.
My chicken coop will have a couple plexiglass windows, and this was the perfect inspo to help me finish. Thank you!!
excellent video and idea. for my dream cabin I will be taking this idea for the upper windows that no body can reach and pay for an entire 3 sides for my own custom double pane window. I think that's half the cost with double the bang for the bucks.
Great job, Andrew👍. The shed came out really nice.
Thank you most kindly Andrew, this was helpful. I am going to install an acrylic window in our catio home soon.
The shed is so cozy and nice. Great work!
were you concerned about water proofing? I'm thinking about doing something similar, and wondering if I should add some flashing.
Nothing to say.Just wowww.🤩🤩
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

Excellent job Andrew! I had four questions; and by the time you finished this great video, you had answered all of them. Congratulations. I rather liked the play of light on the filament. It added a modern look. You are a modern man, right? :) Thank you.
Appreciate it, Patrick! And I think I am more cheap than I am modern 🤣
@@AndrewThronImprovements HaHaHa! Are you Scottish too? :) :)
I kind of unironically like the way those panels look. haha Even from the initial shots of the front view before I knew what he had done, I was like "Those windows look neat. I wonder how he got them to look like that." 😂
Very nice installation and explanation.
Good job amigo
did you clear span a 2-2x8 (?) lintel like 10' ? no bueno.
Excellent videos.
Thanks for watching!
Super sweet.
Thanks!
Water hits that window and how does it not leak?
Will the plexi glass warp/shrink/expand in extreme cold or hot weather?
perfect😍🤩
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Did this stuff scratch easily when you were working on it? Been reading that.
Not too bad because I kept the protective film on it until I was ready to install it
how much are these and do they shatter like glass if it breaks?
Hey - check the video description for the ones I ordered. You should be able to get three panels for around 60 I would think. Depends on the thickness. And no, they don’t shatter!
What the hell is .03 inch? Ever heard of MM?
