Say goodbye to unsightly plastic skimmer box lids and industrial-looking drain grates. Our HIDE skimmer lids and drain covers are marine-grade 316 stainless steel inlay lids that hold your choice of tile, paver, stone, concrete or decking — creating a flush, seamless finish that disappears into your pool surround. 100% pool safety compliant, easy to install, and backed by a 10 year warranty.
Skimmer & Drain Covers — The Invisible Finishing Touch
Good design is obvious. Great design is invisible. Our HIDE skimmer lids and drain covers replace dated plastic skimmer box lids and industrial metal drain grates with a premium, flush-finish inlay lid that simply disappears into your pool deck or landscape. Fitted with your choice of matching tile, stone, pavers, concrete or decking, a HIDE lid transforms the most eyesore spots around a pool or outdoor area into a seamless, luxurious finish.
Whether you're building a new pool or retrofitting an existing pool surround, HIDE inlay lids are quick and affordable to install on-site by your pool builder or landscaper — every kit contains all the components needed for a no-fuss install. All you need to choose is your inlay.
Why Choose a HIDE Skimmer Lid or Drain Cover?
- Seamless, designer finish — the lid is filled with the same tile, paver, stone, concrete or decking as your surrounds, so it blends in beautifully instead of standing out.
- Superior pool safety — every lid can only be opened with the stainless steel HIDE Safety Key, making it 100% compliant with Australian pool safety standards. Lids also sit flush with the surround, eliminating the trip hazard of raised plastic skimmer lids and large access grates.
- Built to last — marine grade 316 stainless steel components resist corrosion, even in saltwater pools, and are backed by a 10 year warranty.
- Protects your landscape — the stainless steel edge protector frame prevents chips and breakages in stone or tiled surrounds when the lid is opened and closed, avoiding costly batch-matching headaches later.
- Easy to use and maintain — compact, easy to remove with the Safety Key, and aftercare only requires occasional attention at little to no cost.
What's Included in a HIDE Kit?
- HIDE Safety Key — a stainless steel tool to safely and easily open and close the installed lid.
- HIDE Inlay Lid — a stainless steel tray that holds the landscape materials of your choice (tile, paver, stone, concrete, decking and more).
- HIDE Edge Protector — a stainless steel frame set into a recess in the landscaped area that protects your coping and surrounds from chipping or breakage.
