Breather membrane around window opening

[Screech20]

Hey guys.

I'm building a timber frame garage.

With the breather membrane, how can I finish it around the internal corners of the window and door openings?

I thought about roof flashing, but not sure it'll stay stuck tithe membrane..

I guess that you are using structural timber to hold the roof up. Where you want a window you need two uprights (floor plate to roof plate) and a noggin nailed in horizontaly for the top and bottom of the window. This is so you have a good fixing area for your window frame.
At this stage I would put on the breather membrane with drawing pins right over the whole structure. Then from the inside, squirt a bead of clear silicone between the membrane and the window frame, adding a few more drawing pins to hold it tight.
After the silicone has gone off, hopefully the membrane is stuck, razor blade it off so it is flush to the sides of the openings.
When the planking is fixed the added fixings will hold the membrane properly.
Is this the sort of thing you were thinking of?

This is the sort of thing I mean, when the membrane is tucked round, how to do the corners..?

You dont turn the membrane into the reveals! finish flush to the windows then fit your fire checks.
