The manhole covers in Ganei Tikva are usually made of metal

 

or concrete

 

and are square

 

, round

in shape.
In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them

 

(these are essentially all the square covers on the site).
