Reply to comment by Kesshh in Advice request for best insulation for unique window situation by Clear_Lingonberry22
Thank you. Just edited to include an exterior picture. Yes, it’ll be exposed to wind and temperature. The window/foundation sits about 6 inches recessed from the siding of the house, which keeps most rain off of it, and it would take a good foot of snow to reach it.

So the screen really doesn’t serve any purpose, right? It doesn’t stop bug, it doesn’t ventilate (or does it? Think I see the whole opening is covered by plywood.).
In that case, would you not consider building a mini-wall? From the outside in, some sort of exterior covering/siding/etc., vapor barrier, plywood, insulation, plywood, interior wall.

Yeah, the mesh doesn’t really have a purpose. I like that wall idea, thank you.
