It's essential that your fencing is connected in such a way that they can't just step past. The triangular-shaped steel wings connect to the bottom of the cattle guard ends and transfer the physical barrier directly to your fence line.

The most difficult process in installing a crossing is digging the vault and foundation, then having cement hauled out to the site to be poured. The boxed grates dramatically cut down on the cost and time for installation. Lay it in place, build up a dirt ramp, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne note of caution on the 'set and use it' method: You'll want to make sure it's installed with sufficient drainage and on a pretty flat section of ground. A lot of folks will set the guard on crushed gravel to help with drainage. To help prevent movement when heavy traffic crosses on less than perfectly level ground, some will bury railroad ties and anchor the guard down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemote areas with little traffic, such as cell phone towers, radio towers, lonely oil pumps in the middle of nowhere, etc., are also good candidates for the box option.
