HIDE Stainless Steel Infill Covers
The Perfect Finishing Touch for Outdoor Spaces
When you want outdoor spaces to look seamless (and stay practical), HIDE delivers a clean, flush finish over service points. Our 316 stainless steel infill (inlay) covers let you blend pool skimmer lids, drain covers, access/inspection covers, and utility (manhole) covers into tile, pavers, stone, concrete, timber decking, and more — so the surface stays blemish-free and design-led.
Key Benefits of HIDE Covers:

Australian-made/owned, 10-year warranty, and awarded Best New Pool Building Product (2019) at the Pool, Spa & Patio Expo (New Orleans).
A Complete Kit
1. Safety Key
A stainless steel tool that allows the installed HIDE lid to be opened and closed safely. (40mm-deep kits include two keys.)
2. Infill Cover (Lid)
A 316 stainless steel lid designed to hold your chosen inlay finish—tile, pavers, stone, concrete, or decking.
3. Frame
A stainless frame that installs flush with the surrounding surface and protects edges when the lid is lifted.
4. Height Adjuster
A 2mm packer that helps fine-tune the inlay height to achieve a truly flush finish.
5. Adhesive
A purpose-formulated adhesive for bonding your inlay material to the lid.
Skimmer Covers
HIDE Skimmer Covers deliver a flush, design-led finish by allowing your chosen surface material to continue through the lid—so skimmer access blends into the pool surround. Built from 316 stainless steel and opened with the HIDE Safety Key, they’re made for clean lines, safe access, and long-term outdoor performance.
Access Covers
HIDE Access Covers provide a discreet way to conceal outdoor inspection and service access points while keeping access simple and secure. The flush-fitting frame protects surrounding finishes, and the lid lifts only with the HIDE Safety Key—ideal for high-end landscapes where visible access points interrupt the design.
Drain Covers
HIDE Drain Covers are a premium alternative to exposed drain grates—supporting surface water management in patios, courtyards, and alfresco areas while maintaining a clean, continuous finish. Choose a tile/paver inlay look or a wet-pour concrete finish for a seamless result.
Manhole Covers
For larger access requirements, HIDE Manhole (Utility) Covers provide a concealed, flush finish over bigger service openings—ideal where you want the surface material to continue uninterrupted. The stainless frame supports durability and protects surrounding edges when access is required.
Concrete Covers
Seamless Style and Strength
Create a cast-in-place look by wet-pouring concrete directly into the lid, producing a durable, integrated finish that suits modern outdoor builds. 40mm-deep kits can be used for wet-pour concrete applications (conversion parts included).
