This is copied/pasted from the 2010 "bars" article, and in the wrong place there. I don't have time to verify it, but don't want to lose it.  There are no longer "horizontal bars", instead "floor bars", so the concept of {{L|bars}} is now purely as the unit of metal and both those others go here.

'''Vertical bars''' are a grill or lattice of strong poles that prevent the passage of everything but liquids and light. A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/portcullis portcullis] or classic barred prison door is a good example.  No creature or object can pass through bars{{verify}}.  Bars can be used vertically as walls or on a flat surface as floor grates.

<s>Bars can be used to block off channels intended for the passage of {{L|water}}, or {{L|magma}} if they are built from {{L|magma-safe}} materials, whether to keep dwarves from falling in or to keep {{L|fire imp|bad creatures}} from invading along them.  They share much in common with {{L|fortification}}s, which can also be used for the same purpose.  Bars can also be fired through like fortifications by {{L|Marksman|marksdwarves}} and {{L|siege|enemies}} alike, and provide no protection for either (unlike {{L|fortification}}s).

However, they can be linked to a {{L|lever}} or {{L|pressure plate}}, allowing them to retract when the {{L|mechanism}} is activated.

Bars can be built via the {{L|building|{{k|b}}}} menu by a dwarf with the {{L|Hauling#Furniture_hauling|furniture hauling}} labor. They can be constructed as either "Vertical Bars" ({{k|B}}) or horizontal "Floor Bars" ({{k|Alt}} + {{k|b}}). Floor bars are intended to be built over Open Space, though it is possible to build them directly on top of an existing floor (to increase {{L|Room|room value}}, for instance).  Both Floor Bars and Vertical Bars are built with one metal {{L|bar}} by any dwarf with the Furniture Hauling labor enabled.</s>
