Default Manhole cover woes

I've been searching around the 'net for ages to no avail. Note: I only
need the covers, not the frames.

As it's in the garden it doesn't need to be super strong, as long as
it takes my weight or that of the lawnmower then that's fine.

I need to replace two covers, one over the 'solids' and one over the
'water' sections of my septic tank - the existing ones are rusting
away to such an extent that the rust has eaten cracks in the tops, so
much so that that they almost certainly wouldn't take a person's
weight (thankfully they are in my small garden which is hardly used).

Any ideas please?

Thanks


jamma-plusser,

If there are no compelling reasons not to, why not simply change both covers
*AND* frames - it's a simple and cheap job to do?

It's what I did. The original frame was in almost as bad a state as the
cover. A few months later I replaced that with one that takes block
pavers when we decided to pave the whole area. Any offers for a manhole
cover and frame? :-)
