Construction Features

• Built in footers. No additional footers or foundations required.
• Rounded rail tops. More efficient cattle barrier than flat topped guards.
• Cut-a-way rails on bottom side. Makes for better drainage as well as easier and less frequent cleaning.
• Durable construction. Standard guard built to withstand constant use by tractors and legal highway weight trucks.

Installation

Typical excavation before cattleguard installation:

• Dig 7 ½’ x 15’ x 6” deep hole for cattleguard.
• Refill with 2” of crushed stone (for leveling guard, and to facilitate drainage). Depth may vary according
  to conditions. Example: A normal level farm lane would require 6” depth with 2” of crushed stone. In rough conditions, such as at the bottom of a hill or a muddy road, you may set the cattle guard on top of the road and build up to it. Generally, the higher the cattle guard the better.
• When digging, place half the dirt on each side of the excavation in the roadway. After
  guard is set, use this dirt to build up each side of the guard, then cover with fresh gravel.
