TYPES OF THRESHOLDS
- Steel bar-grate: full panel can be custom cut to fit the design from a maximum 3’W x 20’L. Ecotopes has used steel bar-grates with either 1″ and 1 1/2″ depth, depending on project demands.
- Expanded + perforated steel: ecotopes has used walkable expanded steel + perforated panels as thresholds as an alternative to bar-grates depending on design tastes + availability.
- Wooden: sometimes fully wooden thresholds or steel bar-grates with hardwood inserts is the best fit for a design, especially when poolside bare feet are involved.
DESIGN SUPPORT
Use a threshold or low bridge in the landscape to provide comfortable access over a dry creek or other rugged terrain. The threshold can be used to connect a deck, path or patio to another condition across an open obstacle.
