Cattle Guards or Auto Gates

Cattle Guards
The Cattle Guards or Auto Gates are designed for strength and to permit the least amount of
injury to your livestock. There are no sharp edges. They are made from Drill Stem Pipe
(upstart from the oil fields) so all the edges are round, to prevent injury. Each pipe has a 4"
space so the trapped animal can pull its leg out. I have chosen to weld 3/4" blocks on each
pipe. So the welds will be more to the center of each pipe. This stops the rocking of the pipe
that occurs if they were welded more to the bottom of each pipe. There is a side plate on
each side that keeps the road from working in between each main beam. The main beams
are 4 1/2" pipe and the top rails (pipe) are  2 7/8" outside diameter. The main beams are on
2 foot centers with 13 pieces of 2 7/8" pipe on top. The design for these cattle guards is the
same as used by the county road department. The Fish, Wildlife, and Parks has also used
this same design. Wings for the Cattle Guard are made from 2"x 2"x 1/4 angle iron. They are
made to slide inside the second pipe on each side of the Cattle Guard, on each end of the
Cattle Guard. I have also designed a Cattle Guard or Auto Gate for Sport Vehicles,
(4 Wheelers, Motorcycles, ATV's). It fits right into the fence line or can be used as a bridge
over irrigation ditches, etc. No need to dig a hole.
