4PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Military Foxhole Cover is a 1/2" (12.7 mm) single unit, extruded polyethylene plastic panel, thermoformed into a round 63" (1600.2 mm) shape that covers the top of a vertically buried concrete pipe used as a foxhole lining. The thermoformed cover is convex shaped, or slightly domed upwards by 8" (203.2 mm) to shed water and support the weight of a 50# sandbag to keep wind from lifting the cover off. When installed, the Military Foxhole Cover includes a 2" (50.8 mm) lip that extends downwards around the outside of the concrete pipe foxhole lining.

5.  APPLICATIONS
