- (For metal bars or other materials in bar form, see Template:L)
Vertical bars and floor bars are a grill or lattice of strong poles that prevent the passage of everything but missiles, liquids, and light. A portcullis or classic barred prison door is a good example. Bars can be used vertically as walls or on a flat surface as floor grates.
Bars can be used to block off channels intended for the passage of Template:L, or Template:L if they are built from Template:L materials, whether to keep dwarves from falling in or to keep Template:L from invading along them. They share much in common with Template:Ls, which can also be used for the same purpose. Bars can also be fired through like fortifications by Template:L and Template:L alike, and provide no protection for either (unlike Template:Ls). Be warned that Template:Ls can and will destroy any vertical bars that block their path into your fortress.
However, they can be linked to a Template:L or Template:L, allowing them to retract when the Template:L is activated.
Placement
Bars can be built via the Template:L menu by a dwarf with the Template:L labor, and take one Template:L of any type to build (including not only Template:L bars, but things like Template:L and Template:L). They can be constructed as either "Vertical Bars" (B) or horizontal "Floor Bars" (Alt + 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 Template:L, for instance).
