Abstract: A protective device for a culvert pipe has a generally conical screen portion extending between a base member at one end and an apex member at the other end. The base member is annular about an opening sized to receive the open end of the culvert pipe therein. The apex member may take the form of a domed cap, or an annular ring structure. The screen portion is formed of a plurality of rigid members between opposing first and second ends which are arranged to be selectively mounted to the base member and the apex member respectively using threaded fasteners. The two apex members may thus be interchangeable with one another.
