    Default Im a supreme metal worker now!!!

    So, the wife decided it would be good to have some window well covers for our 4 window wells that are about 5 feet deep. doesnt want our son to fall into them while playing outside!


    I looked around and it seemed like most places wanted $350 per window well for metal covers. the plastic ones were flimsy or not big enough. plus we have an emergency escape ladder on one so it would need a door...about $450-500 for just that one cover!!!


    took me about a day and a half to get them done. total cost was about $160


    obligatory pics!

    I think I am going to change the color to black though. bought this textured rustoleum paint and i really am not impressed. with the texture or color.






















    I'm particularly proud of the one with the door!
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Did a similar job for my last home. I used angle iron for frames to set on the wells rather than your finger brackets. Nice work. Wish I'd had a shop and tooling like that though. Knowing me I did it outside in today like weather with a hack saw and a 115v wire feed.
