Good idea Clifford. That way just lift the thing out and dump it some place would do the trick. Probably a 5 minute job over all. In the house I grew up in we had window wells and they were a pain to clean out because you had to clime down in to them. Some years later my parents got plastic dome covers custom made to fit over the tops.

Dear List members: Instead of attempting to build a cover to prevent leaves from getting in to a window well, I would suggest placing a piece of expanded metal or heavy screen in the bottom of the well, with a handle on each end, made of wire, and extending up to near the top of the well. When the leaves begin to fall, it would be easy to clean out the well a few times by simply lifting out the accumulated leaves. The construction of such a device would be simpler and less expensive than building a cover, and the appearance of your home would be unchanged.
