What Kind Of Garden Bridge Styles Are Available?
The days of making your own bridge and designing it are over - unless you really want to do all that yourself.
Garden
bridges now come in quite a variety, that there
should be something to please most people and
make a wonderful addition to your back yard.
This article will give you an idea about what is
available.
Plank Bridges
This is the most basic style, allowing people to
walk across a small bridge without any railings.
It also is the least expensive. They come in a
variety of lengths, but most are rather short.
Rustic Bridges
This style of garden bridges usually comes with
handrails and is probably the most common type.
Most are built with an arch-type of
construction. The wider the distance spanned -
the greater the arch. Made of wood, it is the
arch that gives it the strength it needs. The
various woods used greatly varies from teak
wood, cedar, oak, pressure treated pine, and
others.
Maintenance Free
This may be a feature you want to consider when
buying your garden bridges. Some are made of
planking that is a combination of plastic and
wood - making it virtually maintenance-free. It
will not rot, nor does it contain harmful
chemicals - making it the ideal choice where you
may have fish - or, you just don't want to have
to worry about it rotting or having to paint it.
Covered Garden Bridges
Another option is to build covered garden
bridges. This would be great if you want to put
in some added elegance to your garden. While not
many places have this style, they can be found
on the Internet – in more than one variety.
Kits, or Buy Your Own
You may have seen two bridges that contain
features you want built on to your garden
bridges. If you want more of a
design-it-yourself approach, you can buy the
basic plans, and modify them to suit your needs.
You do not have to buy the kit.
Before you buy your garden bridges, be sure to
look over the various kinds, and materials.
Before long, you can have the beauty of your own
garden bridge in your own backyard.
