    Q:My window is 40 by 19. Will this work for me?

    Answer This Question

    A:  This cover is designed to be compatible with round window wells ranging from 45 in. to 48 in. W and 20 in. to 22 in. projection. If your window well cover is round, then this product would work - however you would have a lot of overhang over the window well.

        Q:Is this made of heavy duty plastic? My problem with this type of product is that the plastic is often too thin or brittle, and tears or breaks. I would like something that is sturdy, and will last a long time.

        A:  Yes, it is heavier than most. I have had mine on an east wall for a couple years and it is still like new.

        A:  They are heavy plastic, not cheap or thin, I would not stand on it but, this product is much better than most .

        A:  For the price, it is definitely the sturdiest one I could find. The old one (from Menards at about the same price) our 10 year old neighbor stepped on and it shattered into many pieces. Luckily he was not hurt. This one is much sturdier, and has a reinforcing rib down the middle, hard to see in the picture. This gives it a better chance to survive a step, but certainly I would not trust that an adult would not break it. The custom ones are so expensive, I decided to try this one first. So far so good. I find their claim of 250 lbs pretty silly, unless they placed a flat weight over the whole thing, in which case the rib in the middle might actually hold. There also is a reinforcing metal strip across the back which adds extra support too.

          A:  They are made of polycarbonate. They are good quality and heavy duty.

          by|Sep 16, 2022

            A:  Depends, I guess, on your definition of heavy duty. So I have 4 young grandchildren and this meets/exceeds our safety expectations since I purchased it specifically to replace a less safe cover.

              Q:Can they be pulled off from the outside by someone attempting to break in or are they secured and need to be unclipped inside?

              A:  The clips can be put on tight enough to be difficult to pull off.

              by|Jul 14, 2020

                A:  They do not come with any type of locking mechanisms, but being that this is not an egress size, you could lock it up if you choose to.

                by|Jun 8, 2020

                  A:  The clips and hardware provided are not security clips. Yes, you can pull this off from the outside, if you use the standard clips included. If you used different hardware, it’s tough enough to be a secure deterrent.

                  by|Feb 20, 2022

                  A:  Absolutely can be stolen. No fastening hardware.

                  by|Aug 5, 2020

                    A:  They are not secured from the inside.

                        A:  I installed one, at least an 1/8” thick, very sturdy, great product in my opinion!

                            Q:Will this work ok on a 47 x 18 window well?

                            A:  It can. 48" x 22" is the maximum well size this size can accommodate. The attachment clips included need to be installed at specified points along the outer edge. Since you screw in the clips yourself, it's no trouble at all to align them to your exact well dimensions. Mine were 47 1/4" wide by 17 3/4" deep — worked perfectly. You'll want to make sure you a few inches of level (or lower) ground around the outside of your window well — in case there's any significant overlap.

                            by|Sep 25, 2019

                              A:  Note the circular shape. If your window well is like this but only 18" in depth , it would work to cover it but there would be significant overhang. If your window well is more rectangular with rounded corners, it probably wouldn't work.

                                    A:  The cover is a couple inches wider than the 48" dimension listed. The 48" represents the inside dimension.
