   Hi Vic,

   You ask the question like you want to build your own and if this is the case, without experience, this would be bad. Just give your local window supplier and rough openning size of the existing and they will give you a dozen options to choose from.

   If you want to fit a bay on a bungalow and the soffit or overhang is only 24" then installing a bay to maintain a balance may require modifications to your roof line.

   Window salesmen will normally come to site and be able to assist you with a model that would be suitable for your home and if requested will recommend an installer.

   Bays are available in a large variety of standard angles or can be custom ordered.

   *I dot think its that hard what you do is, take a sheet of plywood and get the available window sizes and lay out one side then just copyfor other side [leave room for mullion] make one bottom & one top after its all screwed together you can fit it in place

   *Vic, are you going to put in a window seat? If so, you have to address framing and maybe foundation problems. I helped put one in years ago with 90* angles but we poured a footing and foundation for it.

   I want to replace a window in a mid 50's house. It is about 5' high and 10' wide.I would like to put in a bay. The max I can come out of the house is about 30". Is the some kind of formula to figure out the angles,etc.
   Thanks Vic from the North
