I was asked by many how to install windows and properly seal them like a pro so I made an updated video sharing the process from start to finish. I hope it helps some out there. This process will work for the most part regardless if you are building a post frame or building a tiny home.
If you want more detailed drawings of our Post Frame structures and how we construct them, check out the RR Buildings Plans. They contain a ton of information.

For me, the ideas in ruclips.net/user/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
I really like this format. Single topic from start to finish...what a good idea. Of course your other in-process videos provide the overall context (and this video doesn't replace those) but this is a great demonstration of a window installation.
Just finished framing a bathroom in our 67 yr old house and I used over 200 GRK screws (thanks to you!), love the way they go in, not one single stripped head or broken screw, even after taking them out and reusing a few. Thanks for your videos I always learn something new!
This video and the one "Layout Metal Siding Tips and Tricks" have been an enormous help for me and my students! Our private school and I as an instructor for a shop class, have taken on a project of re-siding our shop building 120' long by 40' wide. Doing it ourselves to save costs meant an education on this subject was very important. One long wall has been completed at this point, and yes, layout is KEY, which I did on CAD and on the wall. Our windows would have had ribs in the wrong places had I not adjusted their placement by 1-1/2". Thank you Kyle for your detailed information, your emphasis on quality and time savings, your time to making these videos, and your excellent delivery during your presentations that also did not waste any time. The students that are helping with the project are benefiting from the lessons I am passing on during the build. I count this as a non-financial contribution to our school! 👨🎓👩🎓
Thanks for the LEXEL tip. I found some locally and it works great. I even did a shoe sole repair with it.
Very balanced, informative and thorough guide to installing a window in a metal building. You provide humble opinions on your methods without claiming to be the only definitive method. Being respectful and open to other expert's views shows exceptional professionalism and you are a credit to your trade. Also, here in the UK I have a metal building project coming up and I will use this valuable information when carrying out my work.
The fact that you post this hard fought for information speaks volumes about your character. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome format. As I am in the middle of building a 30x60 post frame enclosed barn (all modeled after your building methods), this is just what I needed in one video. Thank you Kyle and Greg...! Oh by the way, I love every detail of how my barn is turning out, including the 1000s in savings.
I am about to do sheet metal and Windows on a Versatube building and this was an EXCELLENT video on the process. Thank you for making it clear and concise and explaining why things are done this way.
Thanks for a no nonsense tutorial. Exactly what I needed to see. No dramatic soundtrack and no dogs were needed to convey information.
Your workmanship on mitered trims is sooo good!
I have improved my work 10 fold from what I have learned from you! The only thing that I do differently in the North East is put the seal tape on the bottom flange first, sides, and then the head. other than that I would work with guys anytime given around here in CT., it seems all we have is Jack's in a truck. As always great content! Be well guys.
An absolute perfect video for anyone installing pole barn windows, even if you’ve never installed a window you could follow this and get a professional looking install with confidence it won’t leak.
Super neat to see how you installed and dried in your windows! I work on the Oregon coast and we tape up the two sides and then over the top where it overlaps onto the sides because we get so much driving rain that it helps really seal the window in. The bottom of course isn’t taped and the water would just drain off the sill-pan. Nice work 👍🏻
Amazing attention to detail. Very impressive. Your process is excellent for installing the window on a metal sided building.
Looks mint to me. Thanks for the content. I've been doing steal roofing and siding in Minnesota for just about six years now. I've followed quite a bit of your videos and definitely implemented a lot of your tips and tricks to the jobs I do.
Thanks so much for this video! Tearing the siding off our old barn to redo in metal siding and adding some windows and door. I'm a little intimidated doing this myself but your videos are giving me confidence!
So I have been trimming our windows the past 2 weekends. FINALLY got it looking pretty good for a rookie anyways. One thing that helped me get a tighter fit around the window was to slightly bend the back of the J channel so the thickness of the window flange wouldn't push the J channel out from the edges of the window frame. Out of the 8 windows on our build the last 2 I am VERY happy with. The 1st few are okay but there certainly is a learning curve. I SO appreciate the videos Kyle! Couldn't be doin' it without your instructionals!
Kyle. Great video! That said, please continue to make videos on your build series. I really enjoy the content and it gives me ideas for other project I am looking at currently.
Have been following your channel for awhile now. Always been awesome, but I am really enjoying the more in depth and simplified style of this video. It feels less intimidating and as well feels like an “all you need in one video” for a window install, which is pretty awesome for being able to go back and search for what you need when you need it!

Perfect timing on this. I’m elbow deep into a first time shed build and framing out a window today
You got it!
GREAT stuff Kyle. I love watching the builds for sure, and would still like to watch those, but the build focus areas are awesome for sure. I'm sure when I finally get to build my shop, the people I hire are going to hate me. LOL...
The corner metal miter cut is something we will start doing now!!!! That’s real nice!
Very good tips Kyle, thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!
Always impressed with the tidyness of your work. In WI, we were layering the sill of the rough opening of the sill with the flashing tape, now, here in CA that doesn't seem to be how things are done. Also, it is rare to use the house wrap paper. Of course i am in residential and most of it is covered in masonry stucco, something i am still learning. Also, your videos would be greatly enhanced with more Greg eye candy.
Nicely done, Kyle is truly a trim ninja always enjoy watching your skill with the snips 👍
I really like theses individualized videos 👍 great job
Well done editing! That's way more difficult than it looks. Great content!
I love Lexell. Best caulk/sealant out there today.
Great tutorial, awesome level..... and those shades 🔥🔥
Great content Kyle..... keep it up💪💪
Very nice job, all I need now is a Kyle and Greg 😳😳, nice instructional video guys thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video man! Love this style vid as well as the vlog style 👍
I like the format of these type of videos. Good job
Love your work!
Your Videos always a great Instructional Film. Then if you have a Garden is always what to Form. And as Selfi to mark Your the best Teacher! Thanks. 👌👍🤔
Very professional instructional video with NO Background Noise , a VERY important element to a good instructional video.
Exactly the window Install video I needed!
Awesome stuff Kyle, thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Enjoyed the video as always nice craftsmanship.
Sorry I don't have telegram I have whatsapp
Nice job. I wish we had seen this video before we completed our barndominium. We added Haslet Frame Kits around our windows to give them a softer look.
Kyle, any way you could an entry door tutorial in the same fashion as this? Love the content, keep it up!
Great information on installing windows, like those kinds of videos , D oing specialized videos within the build.
That was a good install, thanks for the step by step explanation
Your videos are AWESOME!
Great video. Great step-by-step. I hope to see the process you use on the inside of the window.
High quality work guys. The building I just had built is not near this. Few people see all the details. (sweat the small stuff).
Excellent info my friend! Thank you! Seth
Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Great job and informational!
Great Video...Window are next on my building...Thank You
wonderful! thanks - I wish you guys were in CO to build for us.
We can all agree on one thing. That level is a must have!! Great tutorial🤙🏼🤙🏼
Also thanks for the free samples
Wow awesome clean work! MMC
Excellent video, excellent work.
Man, I saw those Junk-wen windows and thought you were cheaping out. Thank goodness it's only a shop and not a residence. Love all the content. Keep up the great work, Kyle...and Greg too!
Depending upon the model, jeldwen makes some excellent windows. There are high quality vinyl windows out there made by many manufacturers.
@Christopher Haak while true, I've learned my lesson with Jeld-Wen vinyl. I've sold them as a dealer (also sold Anderson, Pella, ane others), toured the Jeld-Wen plant, had them installed in my house, etc. Best move I made was to replace them.
I love the way you do window's but I would change that top detail. I usually don't like to rely on the sealant on the top trim. I live in a country where we have over 200 rainfall days a year and alot of wind. When we do trim above the window we usually have a drip cap trim🤟
And another one and another one. Just keep dropping these bangers kyle but we need more Greg.
Guess Greg should start a channel??
great info - you the man!
Thumbs up Kyle & Greg (for president!) 👍😁😎
Thank you, this guy is spot on. Bravo 👏
My husband and I love watching your videos. Thank you for all the work that goes into them! We are curious if there is an update on the 1 million subscriber giveaway?
this is really nice!
Very useful video.
hello, great video 👍 what product do you use for interior sealing around window? I’m in Canada so we might not have the same brands. Thanks for all the fantastic info
Thanks for the helpful tips on a window install. You do make all the steps look easy, but that's because you've done it 1000s of times I'm sure. I wonder if Greg has done 1000s of windows too or just 100s?
Hello there very nice content again thank you for that! Im wondering, what if instead of putting a j trim on the top you put a started? Like the one that goes to the bottom of the wall
Hey Kyle, do you think it’s worth the time to make little bend ups on the metal siding going into the side j’s to keep wind driven rain out or no?
Excelente video saludos 👊 💯 💪
Hi there, love the tutorials man! I have a question on the top J channel. what do you do if an outward rid ends up right at where you want the left or right side to end? how would you make those cuts then? Thank you :)
Kyle, What are the measurements past the window you use above the window when you cut the metal siding? Or what is the closest you would cut to a rib?
This was super helpful. Do you have a video about how to do this process in a retrofit situation? Is it possible to do this without taking all the steel off a big section?
really good stuff. What kind of metal siding is that one? Can you send me a link so i can look for it?
Hey mate, just wondering if you would ever use a body cam angle in your building videos, cheers from Aus
Thank you, for these videos. We had a barndo built August 2021, and it looks like my windows were not sealed. 17 Windows. Do you have a video on using Lexel for caulking around the windows exterior? I don’t want to slice my fingers around the metal, since the job is mediocre and could have exposed sharp metal areas. I’d like to seal my windows this fall? I also would like to add shelves to my she shed, I did not choose to finish-out the inside. Building stand alone wood shelves is ok, but want to use the metal walls.
I like your videos, and you guys do some really nice work. I curious as to why you did not use a drip edge at the top J mould? We would normally do the trims very similar to you guys, but would have installed the drip edge first, then put the J on top of that.
Not a fan of the drip is all
My understanding is vinyl windows have drip edge built in. So then it would be like putting drip edge on top of drip edge.
Tape the side first. lift up the top house wrap. Tape on to the top flange and wood at the top and bring the top house wrap on top with tuck tape
Good job
Thank you so much for the content. When I get my land, I would want you to build my barndo.
Would it be a good idea to have the sill angled slightly in case water does get behind the window it can run off? I recently discovered we had a window frame rot out and need to replace it. Btw really enjoying the content you've been putting out recently.
Boys do excellent work
Thank You
Could you add a bead of sealant after you put your main piece of tin on where the tin overlaps the j channel? I know you have sealant underneath the tin but I have a situation on a deer blind where that didn’t happen. Trying to prevent water from getting under my tin and leaking inside.
Can you tell me the model name of the level machine you used? I would appreciate it if you could also tell me where to buy it.
This model has not yet been released in Korea.
Would the plyco windows with pre installed jtrim be suitable for this as well? If you were doing an all red iron building that’s preframed for windows, would you install those, silicone and all before installing the metal siding?
@21:06 Could a flap be cut that can just direct the water straight down versus possibly back at the window?
On some jobs you apply a sil tape that goes up the vertical framing a few inches, why not here?
I'm trying to follow your method here, but I'm installing windows in an all steel building that will have finished drywall rooms inside. How would you do it differently if all of this is attached to galvanized steel, and you you have any videos of that? Obviously, I can't use nails. Everything will need self-tapping screws. Thank you for the great content!
I remember your early videos where your head trim didn't have that over hang. I think it's awesome that you're the first postframer to do the head trim this way. I hate seeing the other way on pemb's.
I’ve always done that since day one actually
@@RRBuildings maybe I'm thinking of the tab fold down thing from the head trim to jamb trim?
Yeah my bad.. I went back a watched some old videos. I was wrong. Post framers in my area always seem to miter the head trim to jamb trim and tab down the head into the jamb trim. Not sure how I attached you to that memory. Sorry Kyle.
@@kencoconstruction9236 I've always done it that way with the tabbing down on the header trim.
I like Kyle's method better I think.
@@steventhury8366 I was always taught the tab down made it impossible for the head trim to carry water away from the jamb which is exactly it's purpose. But then I've also had guys tell I'm crazy for saying so...... so it was cool to see Kyle do it this way to sort of reaffirm the method I use.
I am curious why you do not apply flashing tape to the sides first and then the top, instead of only the top. Is it because of the application of Lexel in the J-channel step so that you apply on the vinyl instead of flashing tape? Is it considered unnecessary and simply adds expense?
Also, should shims still be installed on the bottom to avoid constant strain on the nailing flange and foam insulation?
What stops the water from going between teh J trim and window flanges? Right on the most exterior point where the 'back' of the J trim hits the white exposed portion of the reveal? of the vynl window.
You guys need to do a video on installing windows in existing post frame buildings with metal skin exteriors.
What process would you use to install a window in an existing shop? Take the tin off of the wall to install them?
Is low expansion foam necessary?? I know my company uses it but on replacement windows, not new construction
how do you ensure the flat (no rib) lands at the side of the window frame? and what do you do if it doesn't, just based on location of window and size of r panel?
I'm installing windows on my covered deck this month. How do I ensure there is no rib at the J-Trim areas of EACH window as you mentioned at 17:00?
Do you do any apprenticeships for younger generations coming up? Would be nice to pass off some of this knowledge to the next gen. I know a lot of it can be filmed but hands on learning is the best.
Amen to that!
Kyle, I have watched many, many of your videos. I wish I had worked with someone like you when I was building. To be honest, I dont think you were even born back then. Anyway, One thing I noted in todays video, you were very serious and business like. If I worked with you I would have to ask what is wrong. Historically, your humor and relaxed nature would shine. Hope all is well with you and your side kick
Thanks George. Perfectly fine loo
What type of caulk gun are you using?
window artist at work
Id tape all the way around that flange and call it good...thats just me. Nice work brother
I heard you mention that it’s very important to make sure your windows land in the flats. What are the steps or solutions to get a good seal when one side lands on the high rib?
I know I'm asking 10 months later, but did you ever find an answer to this question? I have 4 windows already framed in steel on one wall. I'm pretty sure at least one of those window jambs will end up against a high rib, but it's too late to move the windows.
