Hi
I've a concrete chamber that houses the water pipe as it comes into the house. It was hidden underneath a hedge that is now gone. The chamber was actually just filled with top soil. I need to get a cover for it. The size of the internal chamber is 610mm x 470mm. This doesn't seem a standard size.
Do you just size up or where do you go to get a light cover?
Thanks
