Concrete Linear Drain Covers
HIDE Concrete Linear Drain Cover
The premium strip drain/channel drain solution is made for outdoor concrete
HIDE Concrete Linear Drain Covers are a purpose-built strip drain (also referred to as channel drain, linear drain, and trench drain) system designed specifically for outdoor concrete applications—where you want the drainage line to look clean, minimal, and architectural, without a bulky grate interrupting the slab.
Manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, the cover is engineered to create a refined, flush-looking linear drainage detail that complements modern concrete finishes across patios, pool surrounds, alfresco areas and pathways.
What makes it unique
Most linear drainage products are designed around tiled wet areas, then “adapted” to exterior concrete. The HIDE Concrete system is different: it’s designed from the ground up as a concrete-ready linear cover solution, with forming components that support set-out, finishing and long-term durability.
Attention:
- The HIDE HCON Linear system is unique, innovative, and specialised
- Contractor’s understanding of the system prior to layout is essential
- Viewing samples of the system and components is highly recommended and is available statewide
- HIDE will not be responsible for Errors and omissions during or after installation
- The contractor must accept full responsibility for assembly and installation prior to purchase
- Black Everhard Channel for illustration purposes only and must be sourced separately.
Advantages
For architects & designers (clean lines, premium detail)
-
Minimal, high-end finish: a discreet linear slot detail that suits contemporary architectural concrete.
-
316 stainless steel quality: confidence in material performance outdoors.
-
Specification clarity: a defined, purpose-built concrete system—easy to brief and detail.
- Removes slip and trip hazards.
- Australian-made: Stocked and ready for delivery. Purchase through selected suppliers. Call Head Office for guidance (07) 3807 2551 or email: admin@skimmerlids.com.au
For installers (designed to go in smoothly)
-
Modular 1m coverage: supplied in straight cover lengths that make layout simple and repeatable.
-
Concrete-forming components included: keyway formers plus lugs/spacers to help hold and locate the concrete finish properly.
-
Set-out matters (and HIDE supports them): understanding the system before layout is essential, and viewing samples is strongly recommended to avoid on-site guesswork.
For homeowners (beauty that stays easy to live with)
-
A better-looking outdoor slab: the drain line becomes a subtle feature rather than a visual compromise.
-
Low-effort aftercare: straightforward maintenance access when required—without a heavy grate.

Performance note
The flow-rate guide indicates capacity varies by slot width—e.g., approximately 150.6 L/min (7mm gap) and 107.6 L/min (5mm gap) per 1m length (guide only).
When the project calls for an outdoor linear strip drain that looks intentional—not like an add-on—specify the HIDE Concrete Linear Drain Cover. It delivers the minimal architectural finish designers want, the install logic trades appreciate, and the understated beauty homeowners notice every day.
For samples and support, HIDE encourages viewing components before layout.

BACKED BY A 20 YEAR WARRANTY!
You know you are purchasing a quality product when you receive a 20 year warranty.
And that’s exactly what you receive with a HIDE kit. We offer such a long-standing warranty because we’ve designed our lids to be set-and-forget. Hide lids are 100% safe, constructed of high-grade materials with a beautiful finish, and maintenance is required only occasionally. HIDE warranty covers the Safety Key, the Inlay Lid and the Edge Protector.
Meanwhile, other traditional landscape lid options can have durability issues which require regular, and often costly, lid replacement. Due to these durability issues, the homeowner usually receives little to no warranty coverage.
So which option would you rather?
