[QUOTE="Ruark, post: 842318, member: 16279"] From what I've seen, the main part of the job is not building the guard - in most cases it's a simple welding project - it's preparing the ground to set it in securely. Often that involves formed concrete, or working in very rocky soil, or both. You usually want to have some kind of plate around it to keep the space under it from catching water and filling up with silt. Or, it can be built up over the road level with open drainage under it, like the one in the pictures. I strongly recommend going to Google Images (images.google.com) and enter "cattle guard" - you'll get a couple hundred pictures of them in every imaginable design. Good starting point for your planning. Here: [url=http://tinyurl.com/3lk6bzz]http://tinyurl.com/3lk6bzz[/url] Keep us updated if you can. It's on my "to do" list as well. [/QUOTE]
