What are the metal things you put on steep driveways called?

[talontsiawd]

I am looking to move and the gutter in front of the driveway is pretty steep. All the neighbors have these metal things that let water under them but make the entrance less steep. I just can't figure out what they are called and where to get one. I know it's a simple question, I just can't figure it out.

That's what I'm saying. But if your car is that low and your driveway is that steep, it doesn't sound all that bad.

Would be pretty hard to fabricate something like that yourself, unless you have the necessary tools/machines.

Wood isn't going to cut it, so I would think you may have to cough up the $300.

Do those curb bridges get stolen often?

Agreed about making your own.

The description says it's heavy so your neighbors won't take them but then again thieves take motorcycles in the backs of vans and trucks.
Not to mention 3000lb cars.
Not really something too desirable to a thief though.

learn how to drive with 3 wheels? lol

and angled it up in like super angled way so u won't scrape

cuz my wallet won't be willing to spend 300 on that thing

Thanks HomerJay, that what I am talking about.


$300 is pricy, especially before shipping. I know more than a few neighbors have these and I doubt they all paid $300 for them. I may just ask them when I move in. I will pay what I need to but I know there are ones that are far more simple, really just a piece of steel. Maybe that's all I really need, someone cutting me a piece of metal.

Not really concerned about theft, seems pretty unlikely unless it was aluminum for scrap.

I've heard people just get a length of metal enough for their driveway and to cover the gutter and just drill it down into the road/pavement to prevent theft ..
