Door and Window Openings Overview

The goal of this lesson is to help you understand how to measure and prepare bucking for door and window rough openings. 

When building with ICFs, it is necessary to buck all door and window openings. This material will keep concrete in place during and after the pour. Bucking, along with appropriate bracing, will ensure that opening stays straight, plumb, and square.
