900x600mm – Grass ManHole Drain Cover

Product Description

Manhole inspection chamber cover specifically designed for lawns and grass areas.

This range of manhole covers enables you to effectively hide ugly cast iron or metal covers that are ruining an otherwise beautiful grassed area but still giving you instant access should you ever need to access the drain system below.

The covers are available in 80mm and 100mm depths which are both tried and tested as sufficient to allow and promote good grass growth.

All covers are specified by their clear opening size which is the size of the hole in the ground.
