Vinyl Porch Window Covers to Prevent Blowing Snow

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

My neighbor has wooden frames with plastic that fit inside window frames. She takes them down come spring and reuses next winter.

[@normanchambers7929]

That was my thought too. Plus skin the wooden frame with vinyl on both sides, and weatherstrip the edge for an almost air-tight fit. That porch could easily be a 4 season room.

pretty much standard operating procedure here in Michigan. I’m actually surprised Seth gets any snow that far south.

[@REDonFIRE]

I don’t understand any of this. Lol could you show a video for a newbie woman to try to Winterize her porch?

[@linechiasson9887]

We had the same vynil attached to our porch. Winter in hard down here -35'F and below with wind that can blow at 60 p/hour. It got riped off. Zone 4 by Atlantic ocean. 😮 good informations and great teaching :)

Thanks for posting this. Some of the replies are helpful too. I’m looking to do clear vinyl on a screened in porch. I think I’ll try the friction frame idea. Thanks again for the video!

[@nomadgical]

Maybe consider attaching them to the outside? This way snow won't collect between the screens and the vinyl. Also, if the snow melts, there won't be any water dripping down the inside wall. Nice job, I'll bet it's warmer in there also!

[@woutb.5210]

Exactly my idea too!

[@beatricemendez109]

That porch is on the second floor. It's easier from the inside than to get up on a ladder that high, twice a year, to put them on and off.

[@ericprater4017]

Great temporary fix! Your parents will love having that space warmer.

Excellent exactly what I'm looking for to protect my screened in porch in the winter, possibly attach them to the outside.

Where was your video all these years gosh!!! Such an amazing trick for sunroom windows. We have sunroom window without mirror Nd all the dusts is in room.... so this will be an amazing way to do so.....

[@ooglek]

Cool. Any reason you didn't use friction inserts? Basically cut wood frames and use some inexpensive furniture wedges to keep them in. You could even put the corners on small hinges and remove the vinyl and roll it up and store the frames easily. That way you don't need to drill holes into the wood.

[@MsLbriley]

Sounds like a great idea! Wanna give me instructions? Lol help a sister out 😊

[@ooglek]

@@MsLbriley Yup. 1. Measure window 2. Build wood frame 1/8" (or less if you're good) smaller than the window size 3. Wrap frame with clear vinyl 4. Place in window, use furniture-leveling wedges to keep in place. Use some cardboard laying around if you like that better.

[@MsLbriley]

@@ooglek Thank you so much !!

@@ooglekany way that you could give a more detailed description of how to build the wooden frame for us less “carpenter oriented” folks?

Nice expedient solution, well done.

[@donnasummers9284]

If you put the clear plastic on both inside and outside the window, you would create heat like the windows in Alaska

[@mariongiglio8619]

What gauge vinyl did you use?

[@hayderalsalman7984]

Good jod hope not to take off by wind...well done

[@LandtoHouse]

So far after a couple weeks it is holding well!

[@richardbowles14]

WHAT thickness of the vinyl did you buy ?

[@nduquet9378]

Wow super smart way

[@ETR-Anderson-IN]

@Land to House - what gauge vinyl did you use for that project?

[@hollyssimplelife1634]

This was great. Will it work with shade cloth?

[@JustAnotherHo]

Good idea!

[@jszocska615]

Love it! Can you think of something for summer for privacy that allows air to pass through?

[@dennismlatimer4892]

Paint a design on the screen

[@zzalehaa]

can you tell me what gauge vinyl you used. Thanks

[@gritskennedy5007]

Why wouldn't you attach the vinyl protection on the outside? WONT YOU TRAP THE MOISTURE OR SNOW THAT STILL CAM BLOW IN AND SETTLE TRAPPED ON THE WINDOW SILL?

[@LandtoHouse]

These windows are on the second floor. If you have access to the outside you could install there.

[@REDonFIRE]

So, how thick of vinyl and where did you order it from? Should I just use all weather tape at the top and bricks to hold the bottom? I’d rather not put holes in the siding.

[@PROTHRASHER]

IT'S IN THE DESCRIPTION, HE USED THE 16 GUAGE AND POSTED THE WEBSITE LINK.

[@roberthopgood1894]

The Vinyl should have been installed on the OUTSIDE

[@LandtoHouse]

This is a second story porch. We did not want to be 25 feet off the ground installing this.

[@roberthopgood1894]

@@LandtoHouse You will find the snow piling up against the vinyl and the wind will push it away from the wall to blow inside

🙏👌Young men Mr Sheth Johnson I found your genius Ràm Floating pump for irrigation very clever I’m going to share this to my Christian friends African fellows My family in India are now harvesting water from heavy monsoon rain by law all new buil houses by law compulsivity have to have it It’s nice for you to help your mum gardening I will ring overgrown weeds London🙏👌👍👍

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. Remember the floating ram pump needs water from above to work.

[@gritskennedy5007]

Why would you cover the window from the inside? The snow isnt blowing inside the structure you are not mak8ng sense!

[@LandtoHouse]

This is a second story building that would be very difficult to access from the outside
