Am totally new to this. My DIY is usually Do By Yourself as I don't really have anyone to ask for help. hence the post.
I have a 6x6 m garage, one with the portal frame I think it's called.
I had it put up by the suppliers and got them to put in a large window I had given to me. This was aluminium with timber around it for the inside part. I know they put it in after the cladding was done (actually they were on for going to the local pub until I reminded them it had been part of the contract). They seemed to grind a section from the wall girt in the middle and use another c section lower that they welded to the uprights/columns. This was what the window sat on. They then added another at the top and welded that. They also made some type of surround for the outside but I didn't get to take much notice (probably put off by all the back ends on show).
Now I have decided to put some more smaller windows in, 1 900 x900 and 1 small bathroom type. The smaller one has the timber inside bit.
After all that info, my question is how do I put these in? I know I will need to make a frame but should I use timber or metal channel and what steps should I follow?
Any info would be great as have had no luck searching forums or Googling.:~
