[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1078049, member: 3162"] Those blocks would block out water flow. You would wind up with infill dirt in the gap. Eventually. Cattle guards need to be like a bridge. Free flow underneath of them keep from back up debris and dirt. County cuts the grass and the grass can acculumate underneath and cause blockage too. If you don't keep them cleaned out, soon you just have a road. If your cows get out, you will need a gate or path to get them around the cattle guard. Gas company wants to put in cattle guards on my roads but I use them when I move the cows pasture to pasture. They finally built another road but they do not keep the cattle guards cleaned out so I still have issues. My guess is those cinder blocks would pose much more trouble. [/QUOTE]
