Strong and Weather-Resistant Cattle Guard Extrusion
A plastic cattle guard is an efficient and long-lasting solution for controlling livestock movement without needing gates. It lets vehicles pass freely while preventing cattle and other animals from crossing. Designed with precision, our cattle guard extrusion provides safety, easy access, and minimal maintenance.
Accord Plastics manufactures utility cattle guards using advanced extruded plastic technology, ensuring strength, flexibility, and resistance to harsh environments. Whether installed at a rural driveway, utility site, or ranch entry, each guard is built to perform under constant pressure and exposure to heavy vehicle traffic.
Why Choose a Plastic Cattle Guard Over Steel
Traditional metal cattle guards can rust, make noise, and require regular upkeep. In contrast, a plastic cattle guard is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective. It provides the same load-bearing strength without the need for welding or painting.
Because they’re made from UV-stabilized plastic, our guards maintain their durability even under extreme sunlight, rain, or mud. This makes them ideal for farmers, ranchers, and utility crews who want a reliable and low-maintenance solution that lasts for years.

Where Plastic Cattle Guards Work Best
Accord Plastics’ utility cattle guards are widely used across multiple industries. They are ideal for properties that require secure access control without restricting vehicle movement.
Common applications include:
- Farm and ranch entryways
- Driveways on agricultural or rural land
- Utility service routes
- Power and industrial plants
- Construction access roads
- Areas with frequent vehicle traffic
Each extruded cattle guard maintains structural strength even under demanding conditions such as mud, frozen soil, and heavy machinery. It remains a reliable choice for farmers, ranchers, and contractors who require dependable access management throughout all seasons.
The Manufacturing Process
Every plastic cattle guard is made through a careful extrusion manufacturing process. In this process, melted plastic is shaped into continuous, uniform guards through specialized dies. The result is a product that’s strong, consistent, and easy to install.
Unlike welded steel models, extruded guards have no weak points or joints. This increases impact resistance and ensures that each unit performs reliably under stress.
Our production process also reduces waste and supports eco-friendly manufacturing, helping both your business and the environment.
Installation Made Simple
Installing a plastic cattle guard is straightforward and efficient. Guards can be placed over precast concrete foundations for enhanced stability or positioned directly on level ground for temporary or mobile setups.
Because the guards are lightweight, installation does not require heavy lifting equipment or specialized tools. The design allows uninterrupted vehicle access, even for large or industrial vehicles.
Maintenance and Longevity
Once installed, a plastic cattle guard requires minimal maintenance. The non-metallic surface resists rust, moisture, and chemical corrosion, while its durable structure prevents deformation under continuous use.
Routine cleaning with water is generally sufficient to remove dirt and debris. This low-maintenance design makes it a practical and cost-effective long-term investment.
