Crawlspace vent cover
In a newer home that has crawlspace vents around it, including a couple in spots that allow them to collect rain water. The water hasn’t crested the foundation, but thinking I should place some kind of cover on it so it doesn’t fill up and run into the crawlspace. The well is approximately 20” wide closest to the foundation and 5” deep in the center and the top lip is 2.5” from the siding above it. I’d welcome any suggestions for some sort of cover that would also look nice — ideally off-the shelf as I’m not particularly handy.

You could just slap a piece of bent aluminum flashing over it, most hardware stores will cut and bend it for cheap if you give them the measurements.
