Quaint Garden Bridges

Most backyards have at least some terrain that is difficult to cross. Whether it your problem is a stream, uneven terrain, or a swampy area, you can make it traversable with a simple garden bridge kit. These kits are easy to assemble (it only takes about 2 hours to build!), and are completely adorable. It can be a fun project for you and your kids to take on together, and build not only a bridge, but also a bond.
There are several different sizes of bridges available, so you can fit your bridge to the area you need to cross. Most bridges come in either cedar or pine, both of which are strong hardwoods that can support a lot of weight.
If you don’t want a bridge that draws a lot of attention to itself, choose a kit without railing. These bridges lay close to the ground and are completely understated, allowing the natural beauty of your backyard to be the main aesthetic appeal. However, if you’re looking to make a statement, or if you have limited mobility and need support, pick out a garden bridge kit that also has railings. These kits will take a little longer to assemble and produce a bulkier bridge, but the railings make the bridge more substantial, if that is what you need.
