Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from catch basin grates in St. Thomas
Rated To Real Traffic
Tell us the duty, pedestrian plaza, parking lot, loading dock, or H-20 roadway, and we build the bar depth, spacing, and steel to carry it without deflection or failure.
Bicycle-Safe And ADA Options
Narrow-gap and cross-bar patterns keep bike tires, heels, canes, and wheelchair casters from dropping in, which matters on sidewalks, transit areas, and accessible routes.
Hinged And Locking Security
Add hinges for safe one-person maintenance access and bolt-down or locking lids to deter theft, tampering, and pop-out on grades, built into the frame, not bolted on after.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your catch basin grates with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Catch Basin Grates
Catch basin grates are the load-bearing covers that sit over storm and surface drainage structures, fabricated to your exact basin opening in cast iron, mild or structural steel, or galvanized steel, and load-rated from pedestrian duty up to H-20 vehicle traffic. We build square, round, and custom-shaped grates with matching frames, plus bicycle-safe and ADA-friendly bar spacing, hinged lids, and locking options on request. Made to order in our Toronto shop and finished in galvanizing or powder-coat for your environment, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
