Hello all.
I am in the process of installing a bay window in a family room. The window is ten feet off the ground and six feet down from the soffit. It’s approx. ten feet wide by five feet high. It did not come with the attachment cables to secure to the header. I saw some place some iron 90s that were two feet by two feet that attach to the wall studs on the outside of the home and then the bay window rested on the horizontal but I am unable to find these yet was wondering if I should spend time trying to find these or frame them in the traditional 45 to support it from underneath. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks a bunch. You guys have always been a great help.

Any chance that you could scab extensions onto the floorjoists, and build a wall up from them? That way you could have a great window-seat with storage under...

To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
What brand of window? I think I would be talking to the window manufacturer about their recommended methods of supporting it.
