Galvanised Grate Only to suit Plastic Pit
Upgrade your drainage without replacing the pit. If your existing plastic drainage pits are looking tired or the grates have failed, our premium galvanised replacement grates offer a high-strength, architectural facelift. Engineered as a perfect "drop-in" solution for Everhard Polymer Pits, these grates allow you to switch from basic plastic to heavy-duty, long-lasting steel in seconds. Whether you need maximum flow, pedestrian safety, or a completely hidden aesthetic, we provide the technical hardware to turn a standard utility pit into a high-end drainage feature.
Choose Your Style
We offer three distinct styles to match your project's specific drainage and design requirements:
- Traditional Bar Grate: The professional’s choice for maximum water intake. This is our most affordable option and provides the highest flow rate for areas prone to heavy runoff.
- Budaguard™ Heelguard: The ultimate in safety and maintenance. The tight wedge-wire pattern is Anti-Slip tested to AS 3996:2019, preventing heels from catching and keeping leaves/debris out of your pit—meaning less cleaning for you.
- Tile Insert (Hidden): For a seamless, architectural finish. This variant allows you to tile directly into the grate, leaving only a discreet perimeter gap for water. It’s the perfect way to make a bulky pit "disappear" into your patio or pool deck.
Sizing & Load Ratings
Our grates are available in multiple sizes to suit standard polymer pit profiles.
- 340mm × 340mm (300mm Pit) — Heelguard
- 540mm × 540mm (450mm Pit) — Traditional, Heelguard, Tile Insert
- 685mm × 685mm (600mm Pit) — Traditional, Heelguard, Tile Insert
Please note: Currently, the grate only to suit the 300x300 plastic pit is considered a factory second as the grate sits approximately 2–3mm higher than the pit. Please keep in mind factory seconds purchases are considered final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged for a change of mind. New stock has been ordered to the correct height. Online inventory will be updated accordingly when stock is available.
