How stable of a support does it need outside the window?

Just a piece of 2x4 between the unit and the window sill. It was very easy to install.

We purchased the following for support and it works great. Also has padding so it doesn't damage exterior. THERMWELL ACB160H Heavy Duty Steel Air Conditioner Support

Yes. If you don't want it to bow out I would recommend some kind of outer support frame.

I sent my back about 3 years ago because it was so top heavy and it kept on falling over. I had no issues with it working with my windows. Stong signal.

I have an "old" brick of a monitor... and it supports it well. It's a sturdy one piece construction, that looks very nice.

I setup the frame and attached it using bungi cords to my pipe fence. This has been up for months with no problems. I suspect that if the frame is secured very well it would withstand higher winds but I would be uncomfortable leaving it up all the time. The screen is so easy to remove from the frame that it is not worth the risk to me. Also, being out in the elements for such long periods of time cannot be good for the screen...

Yes it should be stable. I would place the umbrella indoors if not in use for long periods. I'm still unsure of the long term quality and sunlight resistance of the cloth. Overall for price a decent little umbrella.

It is very sturdy. I actually used it freestanding outside a couple of times. Inside you should have no problems.

It has feet on every panel, and that makes it stable. It's also more stable if you don't keep it completely open/flat, but sort of zigzag it, the way it's shown in the seller's photograph.

We have two of these mounted outside the bedroom window and have had no problems so far. They've been rained on multiple times.

Not much unless you use something stronger than the supplied wood platforms, like steel for example. I've got a iMac with on it which is all I need.

Sorry for the delay. I was away from home. I used two together and did have to put a support in the middle as it is a 12 foot window. It would span 6 feet without a support I think.

We have ours mounted to a support beam above the outside porch, so I would think outside a frame would be ok.

I have very wide windows, no wood to attach anything. After the lip guard is secured on the top with screw (you have to do it, takes a minute literally)..I then brace that metal lip against the metal window ledge...and it stays easily....and I live on the third floor..I put support on the outside window ledge prior, piece of wood and a brick on top so it has a very slight lean. The unit is under fifty pounds, I was able to do this within minutes as a woman.

I used two, one on either side of the window boxes, and they crashed to the ground. In a nutshell, I do not recommend using them to hang window boxes!

If it was mounted correctly yes , but I think it would have to be in the outside of the window .

The tripod mount worked great for me, but I haven't used the window mount. The tripod mount is a little wobbly but does eventually steady.
