Step 14 of Rear Garden Design Project.<\/h2>\n

I searched online to find a garden bridge to replace our nine-year-old “temporary” bridge and I found a good selection at: gazebocreations.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"I<\/a><\/dt>\n
I selected this bridge style from GazeboCreations.com<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h4>\n

I measured across the dry streambed to determine the length I needed to cross the span. The website had very good information about the span size and other stats I needed to make my selection.<\/p>\n

It was important to have a bridge that was the right scale for the project, a Goldilocks bridge, not too small, not too big, just right.<\/p>\n

I ordered it online with the added options of stainless steel screws and 2 Coats Cedar Stain\/Sealer to ensure greater longevity. This bridge has to last a lot longer then the temporary one did.<\/p>\n

The boxes arrived by UPS and when I unpacked them I checked the parts list to make sure everything was there. It was complet I’m happy to say.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"The<\/dt>\n
The bridge parts arrived well packaged and easily inventoried<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h4>\n

We dismantled the “temporary” bridge that was always such a joy to the grandchildren on a day they weren’t visiting so the work went more smoothly. I thought I’d be nostalgic but I was far too happy to be finally getting a real garden bridge that I didn’t waste a moment dwelling on the past.<\/p>\n

My son Michael helped to dismantle the nine year old “temporary” bridge<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h4>\n
