Silo Cave, Bexar County, Texas

October 2020

Gate Type: FLAT

We were contacted by the City of San Antonio to gate this cave which was situated by a planned hiking trail. Back when it was ranchland, a concrete wall was constructed to keep out flood debris, so that water from the cave could be used for livestock. It facilitated our work immensely.

We took advantage of the concrete walls, attaching our sills directly to them.
The flat, square nature of this gate made for rapid progress.
