Wooden Landscape Bridges-inpact on Your Yard

Is there a spot in your garden missing something? Maybe you should consider a landscape bridge for that spot in your garden. A bridge is an attractive feature that you can add to a garden or yard that needs a little help in it’s design. Take a look at the space you would like to put the garden bridge, and figure out the size you will need, and Also consider the style and function of the bridge. Garden bridges are generally made to be walked on. This type of garden bridge is also referred to as a foot bridge. But, there are also garden bridges produced specifically for decorative purposes only.

You can choose garden bridges made from three types of wood. The first type of wood is pine. Pine must be pressure treated in order to increase it’s longevity and it is very easy to stain. The second type of wood is redwood. This wood is a popular choice for garden bridges and is beautiful in its natural form. But, if you choose, you can stain redwood as well. If this wood is left untreated it will turn to a fabulous gray color as it ages. The third type of wood used for garden bridges is cedar. Cedar is a classic when it comes to any type of outdoor item. It is rot and insect resistant and can endure the worst of weather conditions.

Once you have chosen your bridge, if you decide to go with a wooden one, you may want to apply a finish or a wood sealer to it. However most people opt to letting thier bridge age naturally over time without any finish at all.

Whether you’re looking to add decoration to your yard, or use it for functional purposes, a bridge is a beautiful accent that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.
