    I got a set similar to the ones below. My 7 year old and 4 year old jump on it and it has held up great. I'm scared to jump, but holds my 175lbs just fine....

    Install was super easy, and if we need to escape, just push up and the whole things pops off the window well.

    If I had a window well I'd want one of those.

    Expanded metal can be smaller holes than picture I've attached. And the escape door adds a lot of work but nice for emergency egress.
    i also attached them to window well interior with quick disconnects which adds security from intrusion but allows quick escape if necessary.

    My kids walk on them every day. I walk on them every week. Only thing that goes down is small rocks and sand.

    I used to sell a lot but have run out of time lately, will try to pick it back up again. Not cheap as they are material and labor intensive to build but should last a lifetime. I haven't powder coated them to save on cost, but a quality primer and paint and a touchup once a year should do just fine.

    Geeze, that's a really nice-looking cover.
