• Bolt length 10 centimeters
• Wooden boards for crates (4/4 centimeters)
• screws.Their screwing occurs together with a rubber seal for waterproofing
• antiseptic solution to eliminate harmful substances from the surface of wooden boards
• Scissors on metal
• Construction foam to seal
• Cement (possibly sand)

Step by Step:

1. strengthen metal supports under the shed roof.The connection is performed with anchor bolts.They should be screwed to a depth of 10 centimeters into the wall.
2. Set crate (section 4 by 4 centimeters).

4. prepare required sections of the profiled sheets.Their construction is carried out cutting scissors with sharp blades
5. Profiled selected quality is mounted on the prepared crate with high-strength screws.Under their base is enclosed rubber gasket.
6. corrugated sheets, loose fitting to the wall, can form an air space.It should remove the mounting foam.After it has dried foam is cut excess foam.Its surface is treated with a mixture of cement and sand
7. the subsequent glazing step you need to prepare the frame
8. glazing formed openings are sealed with foam
