Are your livestock pastures secure?

Keeping your livestock secure requires a well-maintained fence line and control of all access points. 

Reasons for installing a cattle guard:

  • If you are concerned that your pasture gate may be left open
  • If you have livestock that like to open your pasture gates on their own
  • If you want the convenience of accessing your land without having to open a pasture gate

Hi-Hog's cattle guards are manufactured using only new, clean, tubing. The completed guards are then protected with a powder coat paint finish.

  1. Posts and pasture gates are optional. Please note that we offer two post styles. If you are planning to install Hi-Hog's 42" handy gates order post 3526. If you plan to install Hi-Hog's 48" corral or heavy-duty gate order end post 3525. 
  2. Smooth ride bars provide a flat driving surface for vehicle traffic. Each set of smooth ride bars provide two, 22" wide tracks mounted 48" apart. Each track is made from five pieces of 1/2" x 2" steel spaced 3" apart. When ordering your smooth ride bars please let us know how many sets of smooth ride bars you require, and where on the cattle guard you wish to have them installed.
  3. If you are combining cattle guards to create a wider cattle guard you will need a connector set at each cattle guard connection.

NOTE: Consider the size and location of your cattle guard carefully. If your cattle guard is close to the road, you may require a wider cattle guard to allow room for the turning radius of the longest vehicles that will need access to your property (don't forget emergency vehicles). The further away from the road your cattle guard is, the narrower your cattle guard can be. If your cattle guard includes a pasture gate, consider setting your cattle guard far enough from the road to allow vehicles room to safely pull off of the roadway before they have to stop to open the gate.
