100% Redwood Bridge Construction Specifications

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 Sealwhich 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 optionalSolar Post Caps (available below in "Related Items")
