Window well cover

admin

Sister moved into a house with a window well cover missing from the "RV pad" area.  Whoever did the work did a poor job cleaning up the metal from the window well.  Lots of sharp edges.Kids like to ride their bikes their and have fallen in and cut their arms.  I haven't been there myself, but made a template based on a picture.  My sister said the template was a perfect fit, so I created the window well cover based on that.  No build pics, just final pics.Piece of angle iron on the back.  Expanded sandwhiched between the top 2" rail and the bottom supports.  Curved part of the top cut on CNC machine, straight parts are just some 2" flat bar I had.

Reply:Perfect fit and I never have seen the window well in person.The lines you see on the front right are where I was testing with my plate marker a couple of days before cutting this out.  I painted over them, but they still show up.  OK for what this is though Attached ImagesThe Lord has declared, "This is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man"  Moses 1:39Link: My name is John, and I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.-- ColdCreekWorks.com --

Reply:Nice job on the cover. But, if it were mine, I would have extended the frame and mesh up from the angle steel to protect the upper glass area from those same kids etc. And in some places it would be prudent to anchor it all down to deter thieves from using that window as an entry point.

Reply:This is in a fenced area.  Don't want to bolt it down as it may block a potential fire escape.  All of the other windows are uncovered.  We just covered this one due to location.I wasn't going to post this here, but changed my mind due to questions being received in my PMs.  It is a construction video, somewhere in the middle I slow the video down and explain some things.Last edited by jdh239; 05-09-2013 at 11:28 AM.The Lord has declared, "This is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man"  Moses 1:39Link: My name is John, and I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.-- ColdCreekWorks.com --
