Bridges

 
We have a comprehensive selection of bridges to satisfy many different tastes. These bridges have been sized only for foot traffic, not vehicles or commercial traffic, and are designed for practical economy. No changes in bridge sizes or specifications should be done without the advice of an architect or engineer.

Early American bridges were often financed by lottery or were privately funded, with building costs recovered by tolls. In the mid-1800's, the cost of an average covered bridge varied from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the size. Bridge carpenters were paid $.65 a day plus 3 free meals. Tolls varied and were often changed at will. Charge accounts were commonplace. There were special rates for doctors, clergymen and large families. Itinerant peddlers normally traded wares for tolls and access was free if attending church.

We believe many of today's small, light bridges can be made of wood; some arched like rainbows over small streams or ravines; or bridges just creating a quiet beauty and grace in a garden.
