How to mount window air c

Hi Mark! M How to mount window air conditioner? M M I got a used AC and want to mount it, but the window sill is M 4 inches and the AC is 17 inches thick. It will just fall out the M window and that accordian wont hold it in, I know that's just to seal M the hole. Do they sell some sort of brackets, or do I need to weld up M some giant L brackets and screw then to the side of the house? M This is a trailer house, so the walls and sills are even thinner than M a regular house, but it would still fall out of the window no matter M what kind of house, and the window frames are aluminum so I cant screw M to them. (No one has replied yet?!) Thery probably sell some sort of mounting box at the trailer/mobile home business for a/c. Else you could make a large shelf using wood, mount suitable L-brackets underneath for support. The a/c should have come with a top bracket to support it there - could rig up some sort of 2x4 across the top and across your window molding. I would also secure the a/c to the wall from the inside to prevent it being ripped out, either by someone wanting to steal your a/c or o get into your home. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * Watch with whom you mess with.
