Access chamber level

[Pocster]

Bit of an engineering project just doing the decking . The access chamber is below the finished decking level . Rather than attempt to get it mm perfect I went looking for a hatch that perhaps has a flange , I.e sits on the surrounding decking rather than in it . Couldn’t find anything … ; does it even exist ?

This type of thing ?

Looks like it sits ‘proud ‘ ; I assume something flush was better …

I know . But they sit ‘in’ the chamber . I want the lid to sit ‘on’ the decking . So I kind of want recessed but supported off the decking rather than the chamber extension . Probably not explaining that very well 🤣

Lid in . It’s too low .

Ok . Looks like the frame sits on or in whatever you want . Certainly worth a punt for 35 quid - cheers 👍
