HIDE Concrete Covers: The Seamless Solution for Modern Outdoor Design

When it comes to luxury landscaping, every detail matters—including how you cover access points like skimmers, drains, and utilities. Traditional plastic or metal lids can interrupt a beautifully paved space, standing out for all the wrong reasons. That’s where HIDE Concrete Covers come in. These innovative access covers are engineered to blend seamlessly into your concrete or paver surface, maintaining a clean, high-end finish without compromising functionality.

Whether you're designing a residential pool deck, a commercial patio, or a luxury courtyard, HIDE Concrete Covers are the industry-standard solution for a sleek, hidden look. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about these covers—from how they work to why they’re an essential component of modern outdoor hardscapes.

What Are HIDE Concrete Covers?

HIDE Concrete Covers are flush-mounted, inlay-style access lids that allow a section of your existing surface material—such as concrete, stone, or tile—to be placed directly into the lid. This design conceals access points like:

• Pool skimmers

• Drain covers

• Inspection points

• Junction boxes

• Access ports

Unlike traditional plastic or metal lids, HIDE covers are designed to disappear into your surface finish, maintaining a seamless and unobtrusive appearance.

How Do HIDE Concrete Covers Work?

Each HIDE Concrete Cover kit includes:

• Marine-grade 316 stainless steel frame

• Concrete-form lid tray

• Lifting key for easy access

• Installation manual and templates

The concrete cover lid is filled with the same concrete or paver material used in the surrounding area. Once installed, the only visible part is a thin stainless steel edge, often less than 1/8" wide—barely noticeable, yet built tough to withstand heavy foot traffic and weather.

Key Features of HIDE Concrete Covers

Flush Finish Design

Say goodbye to unsightly plastic or metal pool skimmer lids. HIDE covers allow you to maintain a completely flush and consistent finish across your hardscaping.

Durable Marine-Grade Materials

Every HIDE cover is made with 316 stainless steel, which resists rust, corrosion, and wear—ideal for poolside and coastal environments.

Easy Access with Discreet Key

Each cover includes a small keyhole that allows the user to lift the lid easily for maintenance access. The keyhole is minimally visible and keeps your cover looking clean and uninterrupted.

Fits Any Surface

HIDE Concrete Covers are compatible with concrete, pavers, tile, stone, or wood decking. This flexibility makes them ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.

UV and Weather Resistant

Designed for outdoor durability, these covers hold up to sunlight, rain, pool chemicals, and freeze-thaw cycles without warping or discoloration.

Your pavers or concrete won’t be interrupted by bulky plastic or metal caps. HIDE covers help you preserve the visual integrity of your design while offering full access to necessary utilities.
