I am sure many of us have asked if window bucks could be manufactured into the windows themselves. pre braced for the concrete pour. And shipped with a protected covering, most "already do". This would certinly reduce construction cost much more than vinyl bucks ever could. And I like vinyl bucks alot. Eldon Howe

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder how the windows would hold up to all tme vibration and settling of the blocks during the pour? ....Larry

Looks like I,m not alone Larry. I know ART builds window and door bucks that are pre -braced. Who knows what is next maybe vinyl bucks molded into the frames. Eldon
