Default Window wells

Need help new home being built in North Carolina. Needs window wells .
I said try Home Depo and Lowes . Here is the answer .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

have been to Home Depot and Lowes and they both looked at me like I laid an ostrich egg on their counter and said they cannot order them in for me, I guess I will have to ask the store manager to look into it. I have been online and haven't found a supplier in NC. The foundation is in, the house is on and bolted together and they are starting trim out, backfill will be within 2 weeks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does Does any one have an answer where in the USA to get window wells and have them shipped in . Thanks . Cookie

Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun.

This BB alone is worth a membership in NACHI.
Where else can you get instant information and have a argument at the same time .
And never make an enemy.
Life with NACHI just never a dull moment. Thanks Mike........... Cookie

Why not manufacture them onsite out of pressure treated lumber?
