what program did u use to make the graphics?

It looked quite nice.

U could put clear or black plastic sheet over the card board to water proof it.

I used windows paint for the graphics and movie maker for the video. As for using plastic to waterproof it, that would work best if you used pvc or plastic pipe instead of the plywood since it would be easier to seal everything... perhaps you could capture a little extra heat as well.

Great idea, thank you!!!!!!!

Very nice. I built one in my existing south facing window all I used was 1.5 inch thick polystyrene board insulation, a piece of aluminum siding painted black. I dry fit it in the window, no nails or fasteners other than duct tape. I get temps of 120*F while open, if I forget and leave it closed, I've seen temps of 170*F. LOL When spring comes, I'll just pull it out of the window again. :o)

short and sweet. This is a great idea. I will definitely play with this idea. It reminds me of the soda can solar heater with less construction time. and cheap to.
