A scruffy dome is a steel grille that is placed over the inlet of a manhole, and is usually dome shaped. They function as a way for stormwater to enter the pipe network without allowing larger debris in, such as people or animals. [1] [2] Scruffy domes are usually placed in parks and wetlands, and are usually made with galvanised steel. [2]
