I know I was curious about how others created their exhaust vents… so here is what I did.
Creation Steps
- Used marker board (plywood with melamine) and cut out a 34 x 8 section to fit in my window.
- Marked around connector (small end) on board and then cut marked hole for the vent/duct connector to go through.
- Cut off about 1 inch of material from the connector as it stuck out too far.
- Hot glued connector to board.
- Added weather stripping around board edges. Added extra layer of weather stripping to bottom of window as well for a tighter fit.
- Used a wood dowel rod to place above window so no one could open window without removing the rod first.
- Connected vent hose and clamp (supplied by GF) to connector.
It literally took me 15 mins to make.
