- Decorative stone and boards will turn the drain cover into a rather attractive antique-style decor.
- A finished boulder will be expensive, but a hollow stone can be made with your own hands, using a frame, burlap, cement mortar and paint. The space around the stone can be further decorated, especially if the drain cover is placed in a prominent place.
- Use boxes of artificial grass to hide your raised drain cover.
- You can decorate the drain cover with the help of stump. The stump can be made with your own hands. Or you can buy a stump made of glass-plastic. It will turn out great, beautiful, but expensive.
