    Metal Bar Grating

    Able to support heavier loads than plank grating, bar grating is good for trenches, mezzanines, walkways, work platforms, and floors. This grating has an open design that allows air, light, and debris to flow through. Cross bars hold the bearing bars in place; bearing bars help distribute weight and must rest on supports. Use Fasteners for Metal Bar Grating to secure.
    To Order: For made-to-order sizes, please specify width and length. Note: Grating less than 17" long is reinforced with banding.
    Smooth, Nonsparking
