What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
Good, the metal could have been a little thicker,
the rubber seal is only thin
feels more flimsy than the Clark cover. also rated 2.5Tonne
don't think it's as sturdy as the iron one
they usually start rusting almost immediately
All good fits ok has replaced old one which has been down for years was all rusty
Although galvanised I find they always rust through eventually so have tried to prolong the life with a good coat of bitumastic on underside
Plastic surround was split otherwise all good
Broken within a few months
Last one down for 20 years before it broke
Love
