    Default how to hook up a AC to the window

    so, besides finding a sheet of plexiglass and making something, I was wondering if there was a better way.

    We have a standup AC unit and want to put it to use in the bedroom, but we have windows that open like this...

    Was wondering, are there any ready made options that I can buy and install that will allow me to hook the AC vents up?

    I think Lowe's sells them...

    It's basically a replacement screen for a double casement window - solid plastic - with a vent hole.

    Probably cheaper to cut your own now that you know how it's done

    I use plywood, painted white. But we have a window unit, not a floor one with ducts, and I take the window completely off.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Duct tape and ducting. Carving up a cardboard box can work too.
