Water bridge , or how to overcome a brook on dry land ?

If you do not water, a bridge is needed necessarily

happens that rural land with a very tempting price cuts through small river in half, if not trickle, and at first this fact has not been given a value.However, when begins the formation of landscaping, as well as a breakdown of the garden, it is necessary to take into account the water barrier, which can become a serious obstacle, if not to build a bridge across the river.And if it's not, is it not worth considering the option of building any deck via the artificial pond?After all, it can become part of the design area.

In any case, there is a river or not, throw it through a couple of logs, stapling, will not be enough to secure a design need.Once in Russia peasants naively believed that in the winter the frozen water bridge breaks down to keep warm, but over time it has been proven that this diversion actually carries ice.Bursting from the bottom water to the frozen supports, he pulls them out of the bottom, heaping itself flooring.

should also consider the bridge across the pond, as it may no longer be a straight flooring and winding, for example, one section against the other moves to the right or to the left.And if not, you can make turns using a short connection between the sections of the bridge decks, located from one another on the meter, and then a half away.And finally, the huge interest may be without water bridge deck, which can be overcome by a pond, a dry land, and the impression is such that you go through the water.But this option, we will return.

What is the easiest to make a bridge over a stream

We will not go into the technical details right now, too many constructive solutions we would like to cover, so only touch on some of the nuances.What could be a bridge over a stream or a small rivulet?Let us return to the two logs.If you use them as a lag to the deck, having filled the top of the board, the bridge will be a very reliable.To bridge the plane was a continuation of the track, it is necessary to dig a small shelf on each shore, wide 2 bayonet spade, and they put the logs, the thickness of which should correspond to the height of the "steps".But such an option is possible only with a narrow waterway.

wooden parts for the bridge definitely need to handle antiseptic compounds, as well as linseed oil, metal - inking tight.

Other Than lags board can be put on an edge, while they can be extended by connecting back to back with metal plates and screws.Drank from the wide boards of large radius of the arc, can be obtained and humpbacked bridge for the pond or artificial reservoir that when using logs is only possible if the find two equally curved.Very durable and reliable will be the flooring of timber, and if as a basis to take metal farm with a predetermined curvature, will almost timeless design.

creating a bridge project, try to fit it into the overall design of the site.For example, if you are around metal and stone, log deck with railings made of thick branches of curves (to merge with nature) will look alien element.So first draw bridge pictures should include at least the approximate dimensions of parts. It is very important before the start of the construction work to inspect the site where a ferry will make .Maybe in the summer there is a reliable ground, and in the fall or spring - waterlogged, then have to pull the planks from the bridge to the place where the soil is always hard.

Pond Bridge - ideas can be a lot

What good is an artificial pond - you can make it any shape, and even the island to implement, for beauty.And to get it, and then go and do the pond, build two bridges, a small and rather decorative than necessary, especially if the middle of the pond area, you can just jump.It can be curved arc design, on which walking is not very comfortable, but it will look nice.You can make a direct and regular decks.But why not build non-standard bridge for the pond?

first option - suspended.This type of crossing is quite unexpected and exotic, and lightweight design fits in any landscape design.Another interesting option is to make a bridge on the pond - to use as a base on the one hand hewn logs.As the flooring in order to complete the composition can be laid slabs.If such a timber dug into the two banks, it will be safe crossing.Finally, the option does not deck - through small gaps in the bottom of the reservoir and are driven antiseptic impregnated varnish trimming thick logs, so that they only slightly protruding above the water.

Particularly worth mentioning is the bridge on the lake.Of course, over a great space onto the flooring it is not possible, unless the pontoon ferry to restore or pave set on piles stacked decks (which is possible with a small body of water depth).Therefore, we consider a variant bridges, ie flooring, abruptly cut off a few meters from the shore.Such a design can be made straight, T-shaped, or in the form of the letter G. The main thing - to establish strong support, better concrete the "bulls" who will not budge nor storm, nor the moving ice.
