I am looking for a plastic drain cover/tidy to place over the raised concrete trough where the kitchen sink etc drain into the sewage system to keep out leaves etc.. The only item I can find round the "sheds" is a piddling 12 inch square effort by Marley which is too small. Does anyone know where I could obtain something bigger?

Does it have to look pretty? If not, a sheet of lead with cutouts for the pipe(s) should do the trick. Incidentally, how big *is* this 'trough'? Most concrete gully surrounds I have seen are less than 12" square!
Use a small concrete paving slab, with a notch cut out for the drainpipe, instead? If the trough is that big, a slab will be much better than a plastic affair.

I made a drain cover from strips of aluminium angle. As it's viewed from one direction, it looks like it's made of square ali. It's spaced by lengths of ali round tube with threaded rod passed through.
By making it from strips of angle, it's really easy to have short sections to create gaps for the three waste pipes that go into my gully.
