Building A Foot Bridge

There is more than one way to go about foot bridge
construction. If you have decided to add a foot bridge or
two to your property you will want to know something about
foot bridge construction.

A foot bridge makes a nice addition to a garden area and
also looks lovely when constructed over a pond or Japanese
style dry river bed. There are several places to look when
you are ready for foot bridge construction.

There are foot bridge construction ideas in magazines and
books that are available online or at bookstores or
libraries. Home improvement centers may also have ideas or
plans for foot bridge construction.

If this is a first-time building project you may want to
consider a foot bridge construction kit. These kits can be
purchased online and many are easy to construct and come
with everything needed to complete the project.

Foot bridge construction kits will come with the materials
for many different sizes and styles of bridges. The foot
bridges may be constructed from pine, cedar or redwood.

Pine is attractive in its natural color or it can be
stained or painted. Make sure that that the pine has been
pressure-treated. Cedar resists mold and decay and it also
repels insects. It ages well and does not splinter easily.
Redwood resists rotting and holds up well in most weather
conditions.

If you want to pay less you may want to build the foot
bridge from plans instead of from a kit. This will decrease
the foot bridge construction costs. Once again, check for
foot bridge construction plans online where you will have a
nice variety of choices.

Foot bridge construction need not be difficult or
expensive.
