Grate covers are protective coverings placed over drainage grates or openings in sidewalks and streets. They help prevent debris, leaves, and other materials from clogging the drainage system, ensuring proper water flow during rainstorms. Grate covers are typically made from materials like metal or heavy-duty plastic, designed to withstand heavy loads and foot traffic. In addition to their functional purpose, grate covers can enhance safety by preventing accidents, such as people or animals falling into open drains. They come in various designs and sizes to fit different types of drainage systems and can be found in urban areas, parks, and residential neighborhoods.
