Hi Peg. We purchased our window well covers at Home Depot several years ago. Pretty well priced too.
thank you will check out.....
Hi Peg, Here's a link with lots of options for your window well: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS781US781&q=pictures+of+outside+window+well+covers&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPu7X0mKXiAhVBnOAKHdA3ATEQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1600&bih=789
Good luck!
It is an egress window and is required by code to be unobstructed and is used as an emergency exit. It should be easily opened and if not easy accessed from inside, you may need an emergency ladder installed as well. You may put a landscape railing around the outside but it has to be able to be removed quickly. Home improvement stores sell covers but they are expensive.
Thank you never thought of an emergency exit many thanks for this information Peg
