How to Frame Windows and Doors

- Today's video is a quick and simple how to frame windows and doors in a post frame. One of the huge benefits to building post frame is not needing to frame windows and doors while building the walls. With all the weight bearing down on the columns there is also no need for any structural headers.

It's refreshing to watch you build these post frame buildings in a world where people seem to compete on how many gables they can put on their McMansion.
Because architects design on what is trendy now, and looks best in their eyes.
They do not consider, maintenance, longevity, installation costs etc…. All these new fancy “sustainable” builds will be torn down and rebuilt in 10/15 years
I thought we only used the term 'McMansion' down here in Australia. I look at some recent developments and the rows of high density houses just remind me of the houses stacked side by side on a monopoly board when I was a kid.
I'm curious why you frame the windows differently. Couldn't you frame the windows the same as the doors and use less lumber?
You need a short outbound roller stand for your table saw.
You do a very good job at explaining how you need to think ahead on your dimensions. Especially with the ribs of your steel.
Nice work brother. Always enjoy the content. 32 years in commercial construction for me and still learn stuff from you. Thank you
Your timing is awesome! I’m tools-in-hand in my 48 x72 that I’m building looking through your videos on how to do the windows. You’re the best! Thank you for making such detailed videos.
awesome...then it was worth it if it helps only you!!! Good luck
I framed in some windows yesterday and knew there was a different way but could not remember! I didn't do the backing lol
You definitely helped more than one person now. Thank you.
Add me to the list. Just finished my interior liner on my 40x60 monitor style shop. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it myself and alone!
Your constant and continual corrections for exact accuracy are so very refreshing. Yes, you are dealing with real wood, but better and better is best. I really like the process of quality basic construction practices. I was a conventional builder, and I always knew there was a better way.
@RRBUILDINGSYTI win what?
The beauty of post framing is the simplicity!
Love this channel, the desire to be as perfect as possible within reason AND the obvious desire to teach. Thanks for all the extra time it takes.
It's nice to find someone else who uses the tape that way by marking at 10" for starting.. That's how I would train new hires, they would be brain washed into using the 1' mark but I would explain the ease of math with the 10". Nice work sir as usual..

Best quote you have ever dropped on the channel.🤠 15:59
Man, this is definitively a master class on doors and windows framing for pole barns, cheers from Uruguay!
this is one of the best vlogs i have ever seen, thanks to the angles and curve standards i have for Kyle and Greg's❤❤❤👌👌👌👍👍👍💯💯💯🌟🌟🌟
Love you guys. In South Africa they only know stick framing. Im now busy building my post frame house and loving these videos.
Really like these videos with the camera guy I've seen you do this before but it never gets old
Hi Kyle, Nice explanations! This is great food for thought in regards to the advantages of post-frame buildings 👍
Also, Michael, if you can will you please keep on working BTS with Kyle to show us his tricks to stay comfortable on-site? For example, you did a great job framing the shot where Kyle was cutting the bottom sill of the door. He put down a board so his knee wouldn’t be in gravel. Not saying that these tricks need to be called out/explained, just showing them for those of us who can ‘catch’ them is enough I reckon 👍
Perfect!! I have been following your videos for the past few years. Helped build my house and now building a pole shed! I'm trying to keep up with you guys step by step! Love the detail! Keep it up and thank you so much!!
You built a house? Sweet. Maybe you'll have the answer I seek for an art project I'm working on. One of my human subjects uses a screwdriver. Can someone screw something in the bottom the roof? Like the underside of said roof? This is a roof with beams supporting it. If not, can you tell me which specific areas on a built house you would drive screws in?
@johnrainsman6650 for example, mine, over the trusses is ply wood and then tin roof, I wouldn't chance screwing into it, possibly damaging the tin or underlayment. Screwing something into a truss I'm sure would be ok. As long as it's not getting turned into Swiss cheese with a ton of large holes
@@thebrahamkid my building is very similar to the pasta pit, if you want to google it. It’s the cartoon pic on the left, with two wooden pillars. Now I’m kind of a slow learner, so please do speak plainly to confirm or deny. So It would be weird if my guy was screwdriving the bottom of a roof like that? What about screwdriving one of the pillars, tip on the wood? And it would be visually vague and in the distance, so nothing specific like a latch or whatever would be seen
Thanks for showing us Kyle. 😁👍
Great presentation style dude. Very accurate workmanship too. Great channel thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
I have the same tablesaw! I got nostalgic when I heard that sound again, I haven't got to use it in a while...
Great video! This helps a lot as I'm at this point right now on my build. I would love to see finishing these openings with the trim and skin.
Smashing it as always buddy. Hey almost 1.5 million now, wow. Love the channel.
Extremely helpful!! Thank you very much!
Love it! Keep it up I learn so much from you!
Great review of windows and doors.
Love the Cameraman focused on you and your safety glasses sitting on your hat brim instead of protecting your eyes while cutting with the saw consistantly LOL
Great instruction, Thanks!
Good detailed explanation
A+++ video Kyle!!! Thanks!
On your level the inches per foot can be used for at least 3 things i can think of.
Proper fall or slope for a drain pipe or finding the pitch of a roof. Also for forming concrete for proper draining.
Thank you. Good content, great channel.
I love this way of building. I'm looking for someone in Michigan that understands these concepts and can apply it to some pasive house ideas for a future hose I want to have built.
Thank you so much!!!
Slick work👍
Should your door jambs be treated ? It appears to me that they will be in contact with the finished floor. I assume it is concrete.
I imagine you could also put a slight slope in the bottom of the pre-cut window framing easily if you are doing them before they get hanged.
I've been renovating an old barn and have learned a ton on your channel. Thanks for sharing! After watching I'm wondering why do the windows need to be on a 9" interval for the steel install but the doors do not?
It's always awesome watching you guys building every job. What is the rating of your builds handling Tornado's wind speeds or maybe Hurricane Speeds? Also what extra could be done to secure the building? Have a awesome day!
Great video. I noticed that you use a backer beside the window frame and cut the gert back 3.5" to accommodate a 2x4 for trim but on the door left out that step so now the "trim backer" 2x4 is broken by the gert vertically. Why the different style for essentially the same kind of vertical surface? My guess is just your way of more efficient production or maybe for additional window strength in the field of a wall? Thanks for the vids.
Hi, great job and simple video
I have a question, do you have a website that attracts talents in carpentry? I am a skilled carpenter, and I liked your way of working. Please tell me if you attract carpentry craftsmen. 👷🙏😍👍
thanks sir
Thankyou
Excellent video, Kyle! On a sidenote, have you considered using the stand for your Dewalt tablesaw just to see if you’re back.
He has a cut hub. Must not have it on site. He's slacking... 😂
Nice
Kyle, what I’d really like to see is a window and or door after steel is up, like remodel. I had 2 windows installed at build, want to add more light and a slider.
I am going to build a small retirement home for wife and me. Thinking on 26X30 with 10" gurage making it 40'. Like your method of post frame. I would build this with steel siding and roof. Closed cell insulation. Should I go with trusses or build rafters? Cost needs to stay down. this will also have a 10' porch the forty foot length.
Retired railroader here. Grade is measured in percentage of a run of 100 feet. So a 1% grade is a change of 1 foot ove that 100 foot run; since trains go over a track in both directions it can be up or down based on wic way you are going. A 2% grade is quite steep for railroad purposes, given the tonnages being moved. Next time you traverse a 6% highway grade, notice how slowly loaded trucks move. Gravity always wins.
U2 Fasteners give them a try!
Enjoying your videos! How would you add that window framing on an existing post building that is already covered with metal on the outside?
Well cant believe anyone else said anything about it, but i see youre using a brand new red headed step child Martinez! Are they coming back soon? That sure would be sweet, missed out on them everytime... Would be super nice if you could help a guy secure one if they are coming back👍
Interested in the marking device that you use that has a green end on it.
We back!!!
Sick vid, I’m looking at building a post frame but on a smaller scale as a house, I have just the 1 question, when you do the concrete to post method as in this video, how do you form up for the concrete pad with out the footing wall as shown on past videos I cannot see in my limited knowledge on how I would do it correctly haha cheers mate!.
Should there be a screw in the flat header above the door into the posts ? Love the channel from sydney australia
Any reason for different detail on the sides of the door framing vs windows? I would have thought you’d use a flat, vertical 2x4 behind the girt and against the ripped 2x6, then a flat 2x4 after trimming the girt back 3-1/2” from the door rough opening-like the windows. Just curious, your work is really interesting to watch, thanks Kyle!
I have the same question.
Awesome video.
Some of these shops or barndos might have a set of double doors which we all know can be heavy.
Do you still frame them the same way? Ever Double Jamb?
1st Question if you building a Gable roof you already know your pitch how do you know what the measurement from the top plate to the top of the ridge suppose to be
2nd question if you building a Gable roof is the measurement for hight above plate for the common rafter is the same measurement height above plate for the jack rafter
Always enjoy and learning from your videos….
What is the marking instrument you use? Pen/pencil?
What length screws do you use for most of your 2x screwing? Windows, doors, facia boards, girts etc.
Have you guys done any videos where you install windows after the steel has already gone up? I've been searching for a while now and have found very few videos and none that I really liked the approach of. I really don't want to take down steel of my post frame to retrofit windows so would be great if there was a clean way to do it after the fact
Thanks Kyle. Thoughts on rough opening dims. Lets say I have a 30x80 door. Would you make the rough opening 32x82 to give yourself an 1" on each side of the door for shims? Or is that WAY too much space? Thanks again man.
When you build an interior wall, you always put a rubberized tape,so the wood doesn’t touch concrete. Do you do a similar treatment to the wood before the concrete is poured up against it?
On your window frames do you build them with a pitch to the outside on the bottom for drainage? I think you've talked about it in the past but can't remember for sure. I'm going to have a problem trusting anyone to build my house for me since I expect the quality of work that you do. I've heard too many horror stories
I believe he said no because if you flash it properly water shouldn't get in. And he uses the flashing tape on the wood
Do you have a video making window boxes
Kyle, do you guys ever build a post frame building with a concrete panic room/storm shelter in it? If so, could you show the process?
He has a video of his parents house that he built that is post frame with a full basement.
@@timothydillon6421 Thanks, but that's not the same as a storm shelter in a slab on grade situtation
Marshall Remodel built one in his home.
Probably been covered before but what screw heads/bit style are you using. ?
I'd like you to settle the debate on house wraps. Against the steel or between posts and girders. Etc.
Hey Kyle, why 40 1/2" rough opening width? What kind of exterior door are you using?
Just a quick question can a 28*32 post frame be put up by one person
Is it possible to have a basement/ crawl space in a post and frame barndo like this?
👍
@RRbuilding what marker do you use (pen/ pencil long neck marker)?
So would you need a header if its was for a home and not a garage
What power tool brand are you using
Are the window frames made out of 2x6 or 2x4
Hey Kyle what’s the pen\pencil you’re using? Could do with not having the sharpen an old pencil lol
Pica pencil.
круто!!
what is the pen/marker you use for marking all these lines ? link for buying?
It’s a Pica Pencil. He used to have an Amazon store. I got mine on Amazon.
But why screws and not a framing nailer?
What size is the window ?
What kind of Hammer are you using?
Martinez Tools M1
Are you afraid those grade boards will rot?
Please do another tools giveaway!
Ya
were is that harmmer from?
Martinez Tools.
$790 stabilia level, new. Amzn sells "like new" ones for around $400
Do you have any videos about adding a window into an existing post-frame (actual Menard pole-barn in my case) and the steps to accomplish that?
If it’s uninsulated you just pull the steel off and go from there like he did here.
RR
Kyle, what's with all the videos? Are you feeling alright?
Why wouldn't you just push your window over to the post a few inches?
Because like he said he wanted the windows centered on the ribs of steel
@@wyattpritchard1249 ohh....missed that, thank you.
👍🔨📐
I totally jumped the gun and didn't frame in my windows and doors before I put up my zip system 🙃
