8 foot redwood bridge with Posts and Rails Rod, I can't thank you enough for your support. Your tireless response to a first-timer questions and the level of detail was just incredible. If anyone is interested in getting an impecable footbridge for any occasion, I can't think of a more competent and nicer craftman to contact than you. Thanks again. Albert, San Francisco, CA

footbridge built over a fish pond Thank you very much for the fantastic bridge building instructions. My daughter and I purchased the materials on a Saturday morning and had the bridge finished in place on Sunday evening. I have attached pictures. I have added copper post tops since the pictures were taken. It looks great. Rod T. Seattle

Footbridge Between Two Decks Built from Free Footbridge Plans

footbridge built between two decks "Hey there Rod, well it's done, not an easy task for a first timer here, but I think this footbridge between my two decks will do just fine. I know one thing for sure the next time I build one I will put the posts on by sitting it up on the side. It was built right in the spot where I wanted it so I did not have the room to lift it on its side. Boy that was a pain! But it worked out with plenty of patience. Thanks so very much again for your free footbridge directions. Ole Oregon Boy George."

Garden Bridge Built from Free Footbridge Plans

Matthews Foot Bridge "Thank you for the Free Garden Bridge Plans! I fear to think how it would have turned out had I not had your instructions at How to Build a Foot Bridge. I used the "tack and string"approach. Even so, I was still worried about the "carpenters pencil" width between each floor plank not coming out exactly right which might require cutting a plank lengthwise or using a couple of 2x6s along with my 2x4s. But it came out just perfect. I used pressure treated wood instead of cedar and added a few 2x4s "side to side studs" to give the bridge a place to attach to the 4x4s which I had protruding from a concrete landing. Attached is a picture. Thanks again. Regards, Matthew"
