If you can't afford poly carbonate which is $99.00 for a 72x36 in. sheet, you can do what I did. Make a screen frame out of wood trim and use painters plastic sheet which comes in a roll. If you layer the plastic and stretch it nice and tight it will hold up the exhaust hose however I made an extra support just in case. Everything worked fine for me. good luck.

To the person who feels the idea is ludicrous: I do not live in a tornado or hurricane prone area. As a matter of fact, we can't open our windows at all for half of the year due to the cold. The house is 38 years old and the windows are original. Never had a problem with the wind taking the crank outs off. And they have been open in storms. Including the famous Labor Day Derecho of 1998. Of course these are Andersens and not Pellas. Just shut the window if a storm brews.

Not a very good video, didn’t explain How you cut the plexy glass because it does crack easy if its not done correctly

What kind of frame profile did you use? I found 84" Lineal Frame that I can use to make a screen frame at Lowes. But it has a bend in it to press the spline into so it holds the screen. I am not sure how you fixed the polycarbonate to the frame. I am assuming you used a different kind of frame.... but not sure what it was.

I hate my Casement Windows! :p It's too bad there isn't a market for this! I really don't want to mess with all this but I really like what you did! I found the casement screens at Home Depot and the Polycarbonate sheets at Lowes! Now I just need to figure out how to cut it! :p

I have casement windows too and did the same thing. Went to local glass company and used my bug screens as a template did the polycarb thing works great. I live in upstate NY so we of course do not use these for most of the year. But it solved the problem of being able to use these A/C units with out having double hung windows and dealing with trying to wrap plastic all over the place👍🏻

Can't this be done without a frame?

Finally, an idea I can work with!!! I have the same type of window. I live in San Francisco, CA., and even though it is cool outside, it's always hot in my studio. Thank you, you showed me how to deal with my window.

Thanks for this great idea. I have been straining my brain trying to figure a way to rig a a/c in my bedroom. It also has these idiotic windows (only horizontal and on the upper part of window). I already rigged a slider kit for a regular slider type window in living room that works great. Accidently melted the original slider which warped it and made it useless. With much thought I figured why not rig one out of heavy cardboard. Was quite proud of myself after this little accomplishment. Just couldn't wrap my head around the bedroom problem. Now, thanks to you, I've got it figured. IT CAN BE DONE! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY! ! Thank you soooo much for sharing.
