In modern farm construction, fiberglass grating cover has become the preferred material for many farmers due to its excellent performance. It not only has excellent physical and chemical properties, but also has unique advantages in installation and connection methods. ​
1、 Excellent performance advantage
（1） Convenient installation features
One of the biggest advantages of fiberglass grating cover plate is its lightweight design. The use of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) grilles greatly reduces the weight of components, with a weight reduction of 30% -50% compared to traditional materials. This feature directly reduces the weight requirement of the supporting structure, and there is no need to use lifting equipment during installation. Installation can be completed solely by manual labor or simple manual tools. Taking a 100 square meter livestock farm grid installation project as an example, using fiberglass grid cover plates can save 30% -40% of installation costs, while reducing installation time by nearly half, saving funds and improving construction efficiency. ​
（2） Good fatigue resistance
FRP grilles have a certain degree of elasticity, which provides a comfortable experience for personnel working in farms for a long time. When personnel walk and work on the grid, the elastic structure can effectively buffer the pressure of footsteps, reduce leg fatigue, and reduce physical discomfort caused by standing or walking for a long time, especially suitable for breeding work that requires frequent walking. ​
（3） High strength and high corrosion resistance
The strength performance of fiberglass grating cover plate is excellent, with a strength ten times that of rigid polyvinyl chloride, far exceeding the strength of aluminum materials, and even reaching the level of general steel. In practical applications, it can withstand the common personnel, equipment, and livestock activity loads in the breeding farm. At the same time, it has excellent corrosion resistance to many gas and liquid media such as acid, alkali, organic solvents, and salts, and has unparalleled superiority in the field of anti-corrosion. According to the requirements of actual usage scenarios, ortho benzene, meta benzene, and vinyl resins can be economically selected as matrix materials. In the highly corrosive wastewater treatment area of aquaculture farms, the use of vinyl based resin for fiberglass grating cover plates can have a service life of 15-20 years, while ordinary steel will experience severe corrosion in 2-3 years under the same environment. In addition, it is rust free, mold free, non corrosive, and does not require paint. It can withstand corrosion from various gas and liquid media. Glass fiber reinforced plastic grilles are used in outdoor areas that are exposed to sunlight for a long time. Although slight discoloration may occur, it does not affect its performance and use. The maintenance cost is almost zero, and the comprehensive economic benefits far exceed those of carbon steel materials. ​

2、 Installation and connection methods
（1） Preparation before installation
Before installing the fiberglass grating cover plate, the installation area needs to be cleaned to ensure that the surface of the supporting structure is flat and free of debris. At the same time, according to the design dimensions, the grille cover plate should be cut using specialized FRP cutting tools to avoid burrs, cracks, and other situations that may affect its performance. ​
（2） Connection method
M-type connection method: This method is mainly used for fixed and stable scenarios, and is suitable for the positioning connection between grid brackets and brackets. By firmly connecting the grille bracket with M-shaped connectors, the stability of the entire grille structure can be effectively enhanced. Even under heavy loads or vibrations, the structure can still remain stable, making it suitable for installing grilles under heavy equipment in breeding facilities. ​
L-shaped connection method: suitable for special positioning connections of medium loads and supports. The L-shaped connector can flexibly adjust the position of the grille, playing an important role in areas where precise positioning or special layout of the grille is required, such as the installation of the grille above the drainage ditch in the breeding house. It can ensure the precise coordination between the grille and the drainage ditch, and also withstand the trampling of daily personnel and livestock. ​
