This article is about an older version of DF.

A grate is a Template:L-type item. It is used as a construction material for wall grates and floor grates.

Wall Grate

A wall grate is basically a Template:L, bar 2 differences:

Floor Grate

A floor grate blocks Template:L and item movement like a Template:L, but it lets Template:L, Template:L, and ranged attacks through like an open tile. It doesn't block line of sight. It can be linked. Triggered, it opens just like a hatch.

Floor grates must be attached Template:L (i.e. not diagonally) to firm ground or some solid construction (a wall, floor, etc), not (just) other grates.

A floor grate does NOT count as solid construction. You can not attach a floor, wall or any other Template:L to it. Neither can you place any Template:L ontop of it.

You can not have a Template:L on floor grates.

Bars vs. Grates

Vertical and horizontal Template:L seem to be functionally identical. The difference between grates and bars is that bars can only be made of Template:L but they can be constructed by any dwarf from Template:L and do not require an intermediate production step.
