Plastic bubble and corrugate surround for basement window wells

I am having trouble locating good dealers to supply the above item (Lowe's seems to carry just one size).



We have several old-fashioned awning-style windows let into our concrete foundation that are relatively close to grade.



I would like to dig out a shallow well around the foundation, surround with a steel corrugate semicircle, fill with gravel, and then cover with a plexiglass or polycarbonate bubble.



Despite multiple tries at google, I haven't found many dealers of such on the Internet.



Any suggestions?



Thanks

Try a real building supply house or lumberyard. Sometimes Lowes and Google are not the answer.

i did just this same project about 2 months ago. Home Depot sells the corrugated surround (Lowe's did not). The covers I could find at either or. The Home Depot that carried it was in RI (if that makes any difference).

Maybe you could build your own out of PT lumber. It could be rectangular or with a little creativity, a more attractive shape. Fill it with white granite pebbles. I've seen some bubbles made for rectangular shaped surrounds.
