600 x 450mm Grass & Gravel Recessed Manhole Cover 10 Tonne Fully Galvanised

600 x 450mm Grass & Gravel Recessed Manhole Cover 10 Tonne Fully Galvanised

Description

This fully galvanised recessed manhole cover is designed for concealed access within grass, landscaped and gravel surfaces where additional durability is required. The recessed tray allows the selected infill to sit flush with the surrounding surface, maintaining a consistent finish while keeping access to the chamber below.

Two infill options are available. The grass top version is intended for soil and turf, using drainage holes and membrane layers to support water movement and grass growth. The gravel top version incorporates an EcoGrid reinforcement layer, which stabilises loose aggregate and reduces movement under foot or vehicle loading.

The 80mm tray depth is suited to typical external build-ups, allowing for turf or gravel finishes without excessive build height. This helps avoid issues with shallow installations where infill becomes unstable or fails to establish properly.

Unlike mixed material versions, this unit is fully galvanised steel, including both tray and frame. This provides improved durability in exposed environments where long term corrosion resistance is required.

It is suitable for domestic driveways and similar applications with a load rating of 10 tonne when correctly installed. Always select based on the clear opening of the chamber, not the overall frame size.

What is the difference between Grass Top and Gravel Top options?

Grass Top is designed for soil and turf infill, using drainage holes and membranes to support grass growth within the tray. Gravel Top includes an integrated EcoGrid reinforcement layer which holds gravel in place and prevents movement under foot or light traffic.

What does fully galvanised mean?

Both the tray and frame are manufactured from galvanised steel. This differs from standard versions which use a steel tray with a polypropylene frame.

Can this be used on a driveway?

Yes. This cover is rated to 10 tonne and is suitable for domestic driveways when installed correctly.

What can be used to fill the tray?

Grass Top: soil and turf, bark or similar materials
Gravel Top: gravel, chippings and loose aggregate supported by the EcoGrid structure

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure the clear opening of the chamber. Do not use the external frame size when selecting the cover.
