Press Release
Body = Wooden bridges have been used for many centuries for things
such as draw bridges, for spanning crevices, over creeks, ponds,
gulleys and in fact anywhere to cross over low areas such as valleys,
dips and depressions as well as water of course.Japan started making
wooden arch bridges many decades ago to beautify and maintain Koi
ponds and water gardens ... I'm sure you have all seen those appealing
pictures of Japanese gardens all of which incorporate a wooden span
bridge .Other parts of the world caught on during the last 20 years
or so.The wooden arch bridge is usually made of cedar, pine, douglas
fir and a few places use the more durable and weather, insect and
water resistant California Redwood. We use only 100% California
Redwood Or Western Red Cedar to build our Garden Bridges to assure
many years of use and beauty. When looking for a Pond or Garden
bridge, you should know exactly how long the bridge will span. Some
bridge builders sell an 8 ft brid
ge but it will actually only span about 6 1/2 ft.You should also
make sure the bridge is made of weather and water resistant wood
or sealed and stained, along with stainless steel hardware such
as bolts, washer, nuts and screws. We use only stainless steel or
galvanized hardware in all our bridges and on all our bridges we
measure the span length that it will span and not the arch length.You
should try to
find a bridge that is very easily assembled and only a few tools
required. We number and label each board, each post and rail and
you just match the numbers and put in the screws and tighten. It
takes an average of 30 minutes to assemble our bridges.Down through
the ages the wooden arch bridge has brought joy, beauty and comfort
to pond owners, homeowners, farmers, landscapers and many others
who have
an area that needs to be easily accessed. We would be happy to build
you a bridge of modern design or one styled from the early designers.Please
