Reply to comment by Light_Dream_Phantom in How do I choose the right screws? by AmbitiousJuly

I should've stressed that I have zero DIY skills or experience so for me Captain Obvious is a helpful instructor.

Pilot holes and wood screws, probably 1" should suffice. If you're mounting directly to the window frame like that.

In sheet rock, pilot hole, self tapping drywall anchors and the screws they came with. Somewhere in between a machine and sheetrock screw.

I'm the handyman of my family, wood, masonry, fencing, mechanic, electrician etc.

I have over 3000 screws in my shed, my "special screws" and the set I use for everything else.

Once you get the hang of it it will you'll find some interesting ways to fix things 😂
