The seating blocks have angled seating faces which are inclined downwardly towards each other and which are engaged by correspondingly inclined angled faces on the cover or grating. Furthermore the bar is provided with an additional angled seating face which is inclined in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bar and is engaged by one or more correspondingly inclined angled faces on the cover or grating. Optionally the or each frame member is double-sided, that is it incorporates a respective additional angled seating face on each side of the bar, so as to support two covers or gratings in side-by side relationship.
