A small wooden bridges

are ideal for enhancing outdoor spaces with functional, charming crossings that blend seamlessly into natural surroundings. Whether you want a simple footbridge for your garden or a sturdy trail bridge, we deliver craftsmanship, durability, and beauty in every project.

Our small wooden bridges services include:

Custom Span and Load Capacity:

We tailor each bridge to the specific span it needs to cover and the load it must support, whether for pedestrian use, light vehicles, or decorative purposes. Typical spans range from 6 to 24 feet, with load capacities designed accordingly.

Proven Truss Designs:

We commonly use simple yet strong truss frameworks such as King Post or Queen Post trusses, which provide excellent structural integrity while being easier to build and maintain. These triangular truss systems efficiently distribute weight and resist compression and tension forces.

Quality Materials:

Our bridges are built from carefully selected, seasoned, and treated lumber such as cedar or pressure-treated pine, chosen for their resistance to decay, warping, and weather damage. We use straight-grained wood free of knots to enhance strength and durability.

Detailed Planning and Precision Construction:

Every project begins with a detailed plan including measurements, truss design, decking layout, and support structures. We ensure precise cutting, drilling, and assembly, using bolts, screws, and wood glue for strong joints. Cross-bracing and secure footings add lateral stability.

Decking and Safety Features:

The bridge deck is constructed with sturdy boards laid over stringers, providing a level and secure walking surface. Optional handrails or guardrails can be added for safety and aesthetic enhancement.

Weather Protection and Finishing:

To extend the life of your bridge, we apply weather-resistant finishes or sealants that protect against moisture, UV rays, and insects. Regular maintenance advice is provided to keep your bridge in top condition.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance:

We consider environmental impact and adhere to local regulations, ensuring that your bridge is safe, sustainable, and compliant with any relevant codes.
