What is the best way to cover an above ground well so it doesn't freeze? |

Construct a shed around it and push insulation material (Get it from Home Depot or the like) in between the 2 x 4's. Do not wrap insulation material of any kind around the pump because it needs to "breath". You could wrap insulation around parts of it but do not block its ventilation area. If you live in an area of very deep freeze you may want to run a small heater in this shed with a timer for just a few hours during the worst temperature - sounds awful but its cheaper than replacing a pump or other vital well part.
