Problems Installing Garden Windows
One of the biggest problems when installing Garden
Windows, is the location of the window itself. If the window is located
in a high-traffic area, you could find yourself, your family and even
your friends, suffering as they bang up against this large bulky
obstacle.
I don't know how many garden windows I have installed in my lifetime,
but most of the time, if they're located on a sidewalk or an area that
is used often, especially by young children, there's a good chance that
you could have problems as your children bump into these large bulky
garden windows.
If you think about it, the bottom of most Garden Windows is about the
perfect head height for a child between the ages of six and 10 years of
age. If this garden window is located in an area where they play often,
it could become a safety issue for them and their friends.
Here's a solution to the problem. Try to put something underneath the
window, to block direct access underneath it. Even a few plants, around
the perimeter, underneath the windows, on the sidewalk or grass area,
could make it more difficult to access these areas easily.
If you can't put anything underneath the windows, or it could be
creating an eyesore, think about installing some foam rubber tubing or
some sort of protective material around the bottom corners of these
windows.
It doesn't take much, a little bit of creative thinking and some common
sense, and you could come up with something to protect your family.
Something to think about, before installing garden windows around your
home.
