Farmers have a harrowing time trying to restrain their livestock from straying out. The conventional cattle guards are ineffective and costly. Cattle guard forms have greater strength and are inexpensive. They also last longer.
Wichita Falls, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/22/2013 -- Cattle guards are structures that help in keeping livestock from crossing an area. Farmers find the use of cattle guards effective as they are saved from the trouble of opening and closing gates to allow vehicles to enter and exit. Steel is commonly used for constructing cattle guards. However, they are expensive and heavy to offload. They also corrode and get rusty fast.
Even the electric cattle guards are expensive to maintain. Although some may try scaring the animals by painting stripes on the ground this method will work for only a brief period. The normal concrete cattle guards are reinforced with steel bars to make the structure stronger. However the bars corrode after some time making the structures susceptible to cracks, breakages and rust.
Farmers can now effectively deal with their concerns by using the cattle guard forms. How do cattle guards work? These cattle guards are reinforced with GFRP or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer material that is resistant to rust, water, salt, chemicals and any kind of environmental reactions. The GFRP material is extremely strong and enables the cattle guard to withstand the weight of heavy vehicles. They have been tested and qualified for reduced damages such as breaking, cracking and corrosion.
They are much lighter than steel and comparatively cheaper. To construct the cattle guard forms concrete is poured into the forms which is an extremely easy method. Foam blocks are used to seal the gaps. The conventional methods of constructing cattle guards takes a long time but here very less time is required to pour the concrete onto the forms.
