Our red cedar garden bridges are precut, predrilled, sanded, include hardware, and are carefully packed for shipment in an easy-to-assemble kit form. There are a few easy steps for assembly. First, attach the 2" x 10" beams with the cross braces on each end of the beams (this creates the arch and base for the bridge). Second, add the precut 1" x 6" decking with our zinc plated screws to the 2" x 10" beam base. This process is all that is needed for our plank bridges.

To assemble the single-rail picket and double-rail bridges there is an additional rail assembly. There will be three posts on each side of the bridge. We have predrilled all of the holes in all of the 2" x 10" beams for the bridges. The predrilled holes are for the precut posts to attach to the 2" x 10" beams. After attaching the posts, attach the railing to the cutout in the posts with our zinc plated screws, and attach the round post cap and finial on top of the posts.

Tools Needed For Our Red Cedar Bridges:

• Hammer for light taping
• Drill (we supply a # 2 drive bit for the square head screws)

Estimated assembly time: 20-25 minutes
