Metal drainage grate, available off the shelf, or will need to have it custom made

drainage

I need a metal drainage grate that will be at the foot of some stairs leading into a basement.

Is this something I will need to specially order or have fabricated, or can it be bought standard?

I did talk to a drainage grate company, but they said all their grates only come in 2 foot sections, so if I wanted a continuous 48" grate they would not have that.

Best Answer

If you can not find the exact size grate that you need "off the shelf" then you will have to find alternative.

Custom made OR buy a bigger one and use an angle grinder to cut it to size. Go to steel/metal supplier, you can get grating material in a variety of sizes.
