Waterproof Egress Window Cover
To make this, start by cutting a pair of matching triangles from pressure-treated 2×8 lumber. The bases of the triangles should extend from the house to at least the outer perimeter of the window well, but they can be slightly longer.
Fasten the triangles together with pressure-treated 2x4s to make a frame that sits on top of the well wall or the ground beyond it. Attach a rectangular piece of plywood or plexiglass to the top of the frame with hinges, then screw the frame to the siding. You now have an openable cover that will keep out rain and pests.
