The Adjust-A-Grate Model L9 fits inside window well openings that project from the house 34 - 37 in. and have an opening of 45 - 60 in. along the house (USE INSIDE DIMENSIONS). This adjustable aluminum window well grate works best for METAL OR CONCRETE WELLS WITH ROUNDED FRONT CORNERS. These are NOT RECOMMENDED for RECTANGULAR wells as the first set of "loops" is shorter to accommodate a radial corner. These window well grates fit a variety of well contours and sizes within the range to provide a custom fit at a reasonable cost. This grate is designed to protect your family, animals, and home from the hazards of an open basement window well without having to purchase expensive custom window well covers. This adjustable window well grate is made of tempered aluminum and is strong enough to support up to 400 lb., preventing people, larger animals, and things from falling into the well. Yet, this aluminum window well cover is light enough to allow quick escape in an emergency and has open ventilation to allow natural light and air to flow into the basement window. Made of tempered aluminum, this window well grate won't rust or require painting, doesn't get cloudy or weaken like plastic in the sun's harmful UV rays, and because it allows for ventilation it won't collect dirty water, lawn debris, or dirt that block natural light to the basement.

- In order to determine the correct model of Grate your window well needs, make sure that you are measuring from the concrete foundation out to the window well (inside dimension) and lengthwise along the house - again the inside dimension. Make sure that you measure every well, as there can be different sizes of window wells even on the same house
- If using this product with casement (crank out) windows ensure that the top of the window is at least 2 inches below the surface of the window well. Anything less indicates the grate would prevent the window from opening in an emergency.
