4 Step Window Well Installation Instructions Mark the wall for U-channels according to the width of the window well. Make sure it is evenly spaced with the window in the center. Using Tapcon screws, attach first U-channel at desired height with top of channel 4 above final grade. Make sure it is plumb before attaching. Properly prepared, a well site is over-cut 4-6 This will leave sufficient area to be back filled with clean ¾ stone after the installation is complete. Before installing the first well section, put 4 of clean ¾ stone below the window. 2 Level accross to find position of second U-channel height. Check for plumb. Attach to wall. Using a silicone caulking, place a bead of caulking along side of U-channel at the wall. 4 Ready to receive the well sections. Steel Placement Front Panel 2 5 On a clean flat surface, assemble the well sections by sliding the sidewall onto the front wall as shown. Note that the inside of the front wall has a decal at the bottom and with units over 48 wide there are screws stabilzing the assembly on the back of the panel. 2 * Steel included over 42 front width. 6 Set well upside down onto the sidewalls and secure corner connector using pilot holes and supplied #4 ¾ white screws.

5 Step Window Well Installation Instructions 7 8 Carefully transfer the assembled well section to the mounting channel and slide it into place to arrow in channel. Drive in top screws. Repeat steps 5, 6, 7, and 9 to assemble the next course, and then position and secure it. Use a bead of caulking between each course. Place a level on a side panel. Keeping front slightly high, drive two screws into each plank in the wall, starting at the bottom. Note: Front panel needs to be perfectly level. Drive screws into the other side panel. Connect the new course with the previous course by driving screws through the tab into the panel, as shown. 9 0 An average window well will require three courses to complete. CAUTION: Compaction by heavy equipment may cause damage to wells. Keep all heavy equipment 0 feet away. 2 Before back filling, each section should be braced both in the corners and in the center. Clean stone provides the least pressure on the walls. Even though the walls are reinforced with a galvanized steel channel, care should be used in back filling to avoid causing distortion. After back filling is complete, the final grade can be finished by sloping the surface material away from the edges of the well.
