Garden bridges for your own Treasure Island handcrafted by local Craftsman at www.redwoodbridges.com
Handcrafted wooden arched bridges have been used for many centuries for things such as draw bridges, spanning crevices, creeks, ponds, gulleys and anything from dips to depressions and even the original Treasure Island located in the South Pacific.
An Arkansas - based custom bridge builder, Rodney Bird of http://www.RedwoodBridges.com is currently receiving national and global recognition for incorporating old fashion bridge building construction with his modern bridge making techniques.
Japan started making wooden arch bridges many decades ago to beautify and maintain Koi ponds and water gardens and now, in part due to the efforts of Rodney Birds uniquely designed Handcrafted Garden Bridges and his use of California Redwood, Western Red Cedar and Cyprus wood much of the world is catching on. Typically made of cedar, pine, douglas fir, at www.Redwoodbridges.com they use the more durable, weather, insect and water resistant California Redwood, Western Red Cedar and Cyprus wood . By using these materials, the modern arched Garden Bridges last for many years and even decades. In addition to using weather and water resistant wood or sealed and stained, Handcrafted Garden Bridges uses stainless steel hardware such as bolts, washer, nuts and screws.
As a featured bonus, the Garden Bridges Rod produces are very easily assembled, taking an average of only 30 minutes to assemble a small bridge to about an hour for a larger bridge and require only a few tools, such as a open ebnd wrench and a power screw driver. Each board is numbered and labeled, and each post and rail easily matches the numbering system. "All that is required, is to put in the screws , bolts and nuts and tighten," said owner and founder Rod Bird. "Down through the ages, wooden arch bridges have brought joy, beauty and comfort to pond owners, homeowners, farmers, and landscapers," said owner Rod Bird, "I'd like to think that my bridges will span the ages and create a nice center piece to your outdoor landscape area. We have been building Better bridges one step at a time since 1999” at www.redwoodbridges.com quoted Rod Bird
