Abstract: A window box is designed to be compatible with a specific mounting bar to provide a very secure, yet versatile installation. When installed, the mounting bar is completely from view. When the window box is not installed, the mounting bar remains flush with the wall it is mounted upon and is nor obtrusive. The window box is attached to the secure mounting bar using bolts and wing nuts, thereby allowing users to easily and quickly install and/or remove the window box. The flush design of the mounting bar and the ability to remove the window box in a timely fashion without the use of tools allows the window box and the mounting system to be compatible with many hurricane shutter systems.
