Abstract: An escapable area well cover includes an elevated body having a top gently sloping away from a building, and a trio of sides that extend generally vertically. A casement window is pivotal beneath the cover, and may be either right or left hinged and still fully opened. The cover additionally includes a pair of flanges adjacent the building that permit the cover to conform to irregular building surfaces while also increasing the strength of the cover. A second pair of flanges cooperates with the top of the area well, to both support the cover and also shed moisture away from the area well. The cover is most preferably fabricated from an ultraviolet resistant plastic such as UV protected polycarbonate, and may be formed by many different techniques, but is most preferably vacuum thermoformed.
