Elite 30" Large Waterfall Box | PB1090

works as described... kinda expensive for what it is but not many other options.

It fit my purpose, which was to cover a reservoir for a garden pond. It needed to be cut to size. Solid and sturdy. Holds waterfall rocks well.

Heavy Duty indeed though you really do need center supports for weights over 200 lbs. With roughly 600 lbs on top it's working as advertised. I have block supports on two sides of a large fountain vase full of water in the concrete basin underneath the grating and no sign of deformity. It's only been in service for a couple of weeks so I can't speak of it's longevity in the Houston area sun. It should not get much exposure because it's covered with rocks (part of the 600 lbs). The plastic is not too rigid or brittle so it won't break easily. I definitely recommend this for a fountain basin cover (with supports!).

Just what we needed

This grate was perfect for what we needed. We put in a French drain and still had some water collecting near the house. We decided to put in a water basin with a sump pump inside to pump the water out to the drains. We have this grate over the basin right on our back porch. It looks decent and it's sturdy enough for us to walk all over. We did have to build the basin with a two inch concrete edge to support this grate but it was well worth the effort.

This is a very sturdy grate to cover a small round 36 inch water reservoir serving a fountain and having a submersible pump. It is a little flexible so it will adapt to imperfections in the rim of the reservoir even though mainly supported at the 4 corners.. I feel very comfortable walking on it without having a reinforcing pillar at the center. Anything more than about 200 lbs I would want either a better frame to support the grate or a center support to improve stability. Grate makes it easy to clean and service the underground reservoir and components. Don't know yet how it will stand up to Arizona summers and direct sunlight.

Perfect size & strength
