Another grid

For those unfamiliar with cattle grids, they consist of a concrete boxed trench across the road, typically about 1 metre wide. Parallel steel bars about 100mm apart are across the trench. The structure works as a gate for livestock while allowing wheeled vehicles to cross. The concrete sometimes has a sharp lip which could damage tyes if not approached carefully (as here in the centre). Maybe view large to see detail.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone, and have a great weekend.

Aquí, en el País Vasco, las llamamos puertas canadienses, no se si el origen está en ese país. Yo, que soy senderista, las temo porque a veces el pie se te puede ir entre las barras si no hay nada a los lados a lo que agarrarte. HFF.

An ominous looking dust cloud ahead! I don't see many cattle grids here that are so narrow. I think ours are much wider perhaps nearly two meters. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
