Window Well Installation Instructions

RockWell window wells are very simple to install, due to their rigidity and light weight. The

window wells mount directly to the foundation and must be installed 6” to 12” below window

opening for proper installation. If removable bucks form the window opening, they must be

removed before installation. RockWell recommends that the wells be installed with a 3/8”

diameter by 4” long concrete wedge anchor bolts.

Installation Steps:

1. Verify the horizontal measurement between the top hole on the left flange and the top hole

on the right flange is approximately 74”. The inside to inside horizontal dimension of the

window well should be approximately 66”.

2. Make two marks on the foundation approximately 74” apart and centered over the window

opening. Verify that the two holes are level. The marks should be approximately 2” below

the desired location of the top of the well.

3. Drill holes on these marks.

4. Place the concrete wedge anchors in the holes; seat them properly with a hammer.

5. Place the window well on the two anchors.

6. Place a 1” diameter washer and nut on each bolt and tighten.

7. Use the remaining holes in the window well flanges as a drill template to drill the remaining

holes. Verify that the inside to inside horizontal dimension at the bottom of the window

wells is also approximately 66”.

8. Place the remaining anchors in the holes, place the 1” washers over the anchor bolts, and

tighten the nuts.
