how to build a bridge
Buy a partially pre-assembled
complete bridge kit or build your own bridge from scratch to one of our free plans or build it to a custom-designed plan for $25
My plans are compact, with all parts dimensioned on one drawing for the best overview.
If you have no better way to print it, InsertPicture/FromFile (or just copy from browser and paste) into a blank Word document, minimize margins, set paper to landscape and size the picture (by the corners, so you retain the aspect ratio) to fill the page. It should print nicely.
Should you prefer metric measurements, just ask and I'll give you a drawing with metric dimensions.
If you'd prefer an Adobe PDF file, ask and I'll send you one.
Here's an exploded view of
things fit together.
General instructions
start here.
There are 3 somewhat different shapes of arch components but they all fit together the same way.
If you're not in a rush, you might find some history on this bridge design interesting or some thoughts on footings or wood durability. For any questions, special requirements or modifications to your plan, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to try and help.
Thanks,
Frank
