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.

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

Characteristics of Redwood

Characteristics of RedwoodQuality landscape architecture requires building materials that are beautiful and long-lasting. Materials need to withstand environmental elements yet retain their symmetry and aesthetic purpose. Redwood has a well-known reputation for meeting these requirements. Equally important, there are cost-effective redwood grades to specify for every project, whether it is a public plaza or a residential garden. Performance is more than durability. Redwood has qualities not found in other woods--even woods treated with chemicals. Redwood performance characteristics include resistance to shrinking, warping and checking in addition to durability. This means redwood projects age beautifully. Decks, fences and shelters made with redwood simply look better ten, fifteen and twenty years after construction.

Dimensional Stability

Dimensional Stability According to reports from the Forest Products Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, redwood has less volumetric and tangential shrinkage than other common domestic softwoods. In exterior use, this means redwood stays flat and straight with minimal warping, cupping or checking.

Resistance to Decay and Insects

Resistance to Decay and Insects Redwood heartwood has grown-in resistance to decay and insects that is present throughout the lumber, not just on the surface. The wood exposed through sawing, boring or nailing is as decay-resistant as the surface. Finish Retention Redwood has an open-celled structure and contains little or no pitch or resins. This enables redwood to absorb and retain all types of finishes extremely well.

Redwood Provides Complete Performance

Redwood Provides Complete Performance Treating lumber with chemicals increases its decay resistance but doesn't improve other characteristics of the species. In many applications, other aspects of wood performance take precedence. For example, wood off the ground but exposed to harsh sunlight needs resistance to checking and warping. Beauty is usually the primary concern in highly visible applications such as decking surfaces, fences and overhead shelters. In most situations the wood's workability, finish retention or the absence of pitch and resins is important.

How to restore faded redwood

Redwood left unfinished or exposed to harsh elements over time may fade. Some homeowners prefer the distinct driftwood-gray that aging redwood can develop, while other may wish to restore the wood's warm red tones.
Most fading or discoloration due to sunlight or moisture can be easily remedied and the redwood restored to its original beauty. To remove extractive stains and restore a new appearance to weathered wood, follow these steps:

Scrub wood with a bristle brush and a solution of one cup trisodium phosphate (TSP) and one cup of household bleach to a gallon of water. Gentle cleaners like Simple Green or laundry detergent can also be used. Allow to dry.
Apply a solution of 4 ounces oxalic acid crystals dissolved in one gallon of warm water. Oxalic acid may also be available in liquid solutions.
When wood dries, rinse thoroughly with water.

Aquascape®, always the innovator, decided to add the beauty and elegance of fire to one of our GFRC or glass fiber reinforced concrete water features. The self-contained feature is a simple plug-and-play water feature with a fire feature in the center making it an ideal focal point or centerpiece to any outdoor setting.

The Fire Fountain from Aquascape® combines the elements of water and fire in a unique water features perfect for backyards and outdoor landscapes. The bowl is constructed of durable fiber glass and mimics the look of a concrete bowl. A pump (included) moves the water in what appears to be an endless loop of cascading towards the center of the bowl where a flame dances.

The Fire Fountain comes complete with a pump and tubing so all you need is some decorative stones or pebbles to place in the outer ring of the fountain and then insert the wick into stainless steel fire pot (all included) and add smokeless parafin or fuel gel (fuel not included).

The result is absolutely breathtaking. The flames in the central ring create glowing patterns in the ripples of moving water that flow endlessly over the decorative stones. It is incredible in the evening with the sight of an Olympic style flame combined with the delicate sounds of water splashing delicately in the bowl.

Boxed Pond Liner (45 Mil EPDM)

This Fish Safe Firestone 45-Mill EPDM liner has a 20-year manufacturers guarantee.
Cover the liner with stones & gravel and extend it's life expectancy indefinitely by blocking the UV light from reaching the liner.
Can Ship UPS (within weight regulations)
We offer many sizes of this pond liner so you will not be restricted in your creativity when designing your pond. 8' x 10', 10' x 10', 10' x 12', 12' x 15', 15' x 15', 10' x 30',15' x 20', & 20' x 25'.

TJB-INC INSTALLATION TIP

At TJB-INC, we always use the 4 oz. Underlayment before the liner is installed. We had several bad experiences where we did not use underlayment and developed leaks in the stream liner when liner was walked on. Underlayment would have protected the liner from the sharp objects in the soil from puncturing the liner. So learn from our early mistakes, and protect your liner or wish later that you had!

Liner Dimension Calculations for any type of water feature:
Length + 2x Depth + 2' Safety Overlap = Liner Length
Width + 2x Depth + 2' Safety Overlap = Liner Width

Water Garden Pond Liner Size

To calculate your pond liner size for a water garden pond:

Example:
Your Water Garden Pond is going to be 17' long by 12' feet wide, with a maximum depth of 2'.

Add "Double your Depth" to each dimension to accommodate the vertical walls in the pond. (2 x 2 = 4) So the dimensions adjusted for depth are now 21' long and 16' wide. (17 + 4 = 21 and 12 + 4 = 16)

Now add a "Safety Overlap" of 2' to each of those dimensions. (21 + 2 = 23, and 16 + 2 = 18). Your 17' long by 12' wide pond with a 2' depth and 1' of Safety Overlap on each side would need a 23' x 18' liner.

Liner is sold in 5' increments - so you would purchase a 25' x 20' liner for this pond.

Another example:
11'l x 8'w x 2'd Water Garden Pond
(2' depth x 2 = 4)

Add double the depth to each dimension and add 2' of Safety Overlap to each dimension.
11 + 4 = 15. For overlap add; 15 + 2 = 17 total length.
8 + 4 = 12. For overlap add; 12 + 2 = 14 total width.

Purchase a 20' x 15' Liner for an 11' x 8' pond @ 2' deep.

SELECTING A PUMP: Choosing a pump for a water garden should be based on a few job requirements. Desired flow, pumping height and electrical costs are all factors that need to be considered. The higher the pump needs to push water, the less flow you are going to get out of that pump. Pond Kits come with pumps sized to turn a pond over at least once per hour. Make sure your pump application follows the same guideline. If your applications' pumping height is close to maximum pump shut off height, substitute the next larger pump available.

NOTE: If you need this pump quickly, do not choose "Parcel Post" as your shipping option at check out. We have found that Parcel Post can take 3-4 days longer than what is listed as shipping times. Priority Mail will take 2-3 days to go from the East Coast to the West Coast. Additionally, Priority Mail can be tracked much better than Parcel Post.

Proper plumbing is very important!!!

Your pump can only work as well as your plumbing system allows it to. A larger pump does not always mean more water. A larger pump and larger pipe does mean more water. You can only fit a certain amount of water through a certain size hose.

1"hose= 1,500gph 2" hose= 5,400gph
1-1/4" hose= 2,700gph 3" hose= 13,500gph
1-1/2" hose= 3,600gph 4" hose= 21,000gph

For example: If you have a pump that is rated for 7,200gph and you are using a 2" flex hose. You are only going to get about 5,400gph coming out at the end of the pipe. Yes, head height, elbows, etc. have a factor in it also but I am trying to keep it simple and make a point. If you need more GPH, try using 2 hoses or upsize to a larger diameter hose.
