Hide Manhole Covers

Features and benefits

Large Access, Zero Visual Impact

HIDE Manhole Covers are the perfect way to cover unsightly manholes and large service points, blending them seamlessly into your choice of surround. These large external access covers allow hidden entry to big service and inspection points — without an ugly concrete or cast-iron lid spoiling your landscape design.

Made from marine grade 316L stainless steel and available in two square sizes (506mm and 656mm) with a choice of 20mm or 30mm depths, each cover is filled on-site with your choice of matching tile, stone, pavers, concrete or decking. The tray holds your inlay material so patterns run uninterrupted — even herringbone and crazy paving layouts continue right through the lid.

Why Choose a HIDE Manhole Cover?

• Seamless, designer finish — the inlay tray holds the same tile, paver, stone, concrete or decking as your surrounds, so the manhole simply disappears into the landscape.
• Safe, key-only access — the cover can only be opened with the HIDE Safety Key, keeping children and pets out, and sits flush to eliminate trip hazards in pedestrian areas.
• Built to last — marine grade 316L stainless steel backed by a 20 year warranty covering the Safety Key, Inlay Lid and Edge Protector.
• Protects your landscape — the stainless steel edge protector prevents chips and breakages in tiled or stone surrounds every time the cover is opened and closed.
• Works in new or existing landscapes — install in new builds or retrofit into existing pool surrounds and outdoor areas.

What's Included in Every HIDE Manhole Cover Kit?

• HIDE Safety Key — a stainless steel tool to safely and easily open and close the installed cover.
• HIDE Inlay Lid — a 316 stainless steel tray that holds the landscape materials of your choice.
• HIDE Edge Protector — a stainless steel frame set into a recess in the landscaped area, protecting your paving and surrounds from chipping or breakage.
• HIDE Adhesive & documentation — plus contractor installation instructions, home owner information and warranty.

Choosing the Right Size & Depth

Two quick measurements are all it takes: the clear underside opening you need to cover, and the thickness of your inlay material. Manhole covers are available in 506mm and 656mm square, in 20mm and 30mm depths to suit common tile, paver and concrete thicknesses. The 656mm lid is also available in a drain cover configuration for surface water applications. If your cover will sit within 1.25m of the pool edge, the stainless steel should be earthed — check with your licensed electrician. Not sure which kit you need?
