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 30 years or so.With the popularity of Koi ponds heating up, the idea of an arched span bridge makes a lot of sense for shade and access across these ponds. To see examples please go to www.RedwoodBridges.com The wooden arch bridge is usually made of pine, douglas fir and a few places use the more durable and weather, insect and water resistant Western Red Cedar or California Redwood. We use only 100% California Redwood 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 bridge but it will actually only span about 6 1/2 ft. On all our bridges at www.RedwoodBridges.com we measure the span length that it will span and not the arch length.If you are using a bridge over a fish pond, you should not use chemically treated wood for fear of the chemicals leaking into your pond and possible killing your fish.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 galvanized hardware in all our bridges and assure they are rust resistant.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 s crews and tighten. It takes an average of 30 minutes to assemble our bridges. In some area we can actually deliver your bridge to you completely assembled to your door.Down through the ages the wooden arch bridge has brought joy, beauty and comfort to Kings, pond owners, homeowners, farmers, landscapers and many others who have an area that needs to be easily accessed.
