How to measure grating:
- Measure the bearing bar depth.
- Measure the bearing bar thickness.
- Determine the type of grating by measuring the bearing bar spacing and cross rod spacing. Both are measured center to center.
- If cut to size, is banding required?
- Determine the finish-plain, painted black, galvanized, stainless, aluminum or fiberglass.
- Span-determine the direction of the bearing bars. The bearing bars go across the width of a trench or across structures for support.
- Is a full panel required? Full panels are typically available in 2’x20, 2’x24’, 3’x20’, 3’x24.’
- If not a full panel, the cut to size dimensions or fabricated sketch
