Trench

The trench icon represents a long, narrow depression or ditch in the ground, often created for construction or excavation purposes. This icon signifies a common feature in civil engineering and infrastructure development. It often symbolizes the process of building and maintaining urban landscapes.

In digital applications, the trench icon might be used in software related to construction, engineering, or urban planning. Apps focused on infrastructure development or architecture could use this icon.

From a UX perspective, the trench icon communicates an association with construction and infrastructure development. It helps users understand that a particular topic or feature is related to urban planning or civil engineering.

Trench is one of 543 icons in Temaki, made by Bryan Housel and released under CC0. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TrenchIcon to components/icons/temaki-trench.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TrenchIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Trench icon, or any of 543 Temaki icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 15 × 15 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Trench", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TrenchIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TrenchIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

CC0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming Temaki, Bryan Housel and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are architecture, engineering, construction, infrastructure, landscape and urban. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Trench in another set.
