Installation instructions for bridge assembly
Start off with the 2 long beams (they are marked on the inside) and place them on the flat ground. Then get the planks (each one of them is numbered) and start from one end of the beams and match the number on the planks with the same number location that is on the beam, working your way to the other end. Look at the numbers and the lines that have been drawn to show you the correct location of all the parts. After you have all the planks screwed to the beams, start with the posts, which are numbered for correct locations. Also, bolt the posts on using a 9/16 wrench, looking at the trace lines for correct locations. Get the rails, looking at the correct numbers for correct locations. Screw the rails on the center post first -- you might need two people to do this, or better yet, a C clamp on one end, and then GENTLY pull down to where the trace lines are. Screw in place. That is all it takes to assemble one of our custom built redwood bridges. Remember, we have pre-assembled the bridge to make sure everything fits perfectly before we ship it to you and have you re-assemble it in your location.
OPTIONAL FACTORY SEALING
Because of the inherent nature of our 100% California Redwood to withstand the outdoor elements such as decay and rot, your Redwood Bridge really does not need to be finished. Many folks prefer to allow their Redwood Bridge to "age naturally" outdoors without any finish at all. Over time the color will weather to a handsome silver-gray highlighted by darker streaks, and the grain of the wood will become slightly raised.
Other folks like the rich look & luster of a clear sealer that brings out the richness of the 100% redwood. If you go this route you may find a wood sealer to be useful by blocking the pores of the wood. This inhibits the grain from becoming raised yet allowing the natural fading to a gentle silvery-gray color We offer an optional factory sealing of 2 coats of Thompson's Water Seal which is a waterproofer plus a clear wood protector.
The cost is $14.00 per ft length for our standard bridges and pro-rated for larger custom width bridges. (See photo's below). On the left is how your bridge will look when you receive it unsealed. On the right, is the same bridge sealed. Both bridges are shown with the optional Solar Post Caps (available below in "Related Items")
