The manhole covers in Netanya are generally made of metal , concrete , and sometimes plastic (composite materials) . Their shapes include square , circular , rectangular , or elliptical .
In many cases, when circular covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates paving work around them (these are, in fact, most of the square covers).

The covers in Netanya are not colored, though some are golden in hue, mainly those produced by the manufacturer "Wolfman" .

Covers intended for the Netanya Municipality usually bear the city’s emblem or the inscription “Netanya Municipality” .

Many covers are designated for the “Mei Netanya” water corporation, which serves the city of Netanya .

As in other cities in Israel, there are also covers meant for other municipalities (the “Bug” category) . In this category are also covers belonging to water corporations other than “Mei Netanya” .

There are also covers intended for consumers that are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not specific to a city and can be found throughout Israel – for example, covers for Bezeq (the national telecommunications company) .

The purpose of the cover is usually indicated on it (Sewage , Water , Electricity , etc.), so the number of covers in the “Unknown” category is very small.

The year of manufacture appears on many covers in Netanya .

In general, the design of the covers in Netanya is not unique and usually matches the typical styles of the manufacturers.

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name usually appears on the covers, and most covers are produced in Israel by several leading foundries – Menashe Baruch , Vulcan Foundries , A. Telitmacher , and others.

Standards
The standards for the covers include those unique to Israel (the Israel Standards Institute mark , and the Israeli Standard IS 489 – equivalent to the international EN124 standard) . In addition, international standards EN124 and various load classes (A50 - D400) are also found.
