Manhole Covers
I remember reading that the cheap metal ones are made in India and
cost almost nothing but need to be ground smooth before being usable.

Now a days everything is plastic. Personally, I'd insist on iron or
steel. You'll be replacing a plastic one in a few years again, and
once the sun starts to break down the plastic, it becomes dangerous
to
anyone stepping on it. I dont care what kind of plastic it is, it
will deteriorate when exposed to weather, and metals last much
longer.

I need a new manhole cover in my drive. Should I insist on an iron
or
aluminium surround and cover which I had expected or is a plastic
surround just as robust and long lasting?
