Why do they have to be steel? - plastic covers are available in many sizes,

Steel isn't essential, if plastic (or even concrete) is available in
the size that I'm after and will fit my existing single seal frame
then that's fine. Trouble is that I have yet to find any in the
required size in those materials either.


How about treated plywood? But it would be slippery when wet.
