Adding windows to a pole barn

[Ramper]

I would like to add windows to my shop (30 x 40). Can I just build in some framing and cut a hole in the metal?. I am looking for that all important "cross ventilation". I can score some Anderson casements from CL for FREE.

That's the way I did it. Build your frame, drill a hole inside each corner and go to town with a sawzall. You can slip J-channel in under the tin from the outside and nail it to the frame.

that what i did as well, works just fine

pretty much how I did mine..but a 4" angle grinder and a cutoff wheel goes alot quicker and smoother than a jigsaw/sawzall..I started trying to use a sawzall..

Yep. Though pay attention here = J Channel =. The j-channel is what provides a large part of your weather protection.
