Jerry B44 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I made this from wood and exterior styrofoam. I scored in the block patterns, then primerd/painted it. Might put lights on the ends. I used the rubber ice dam stuff on top to help preserve the wood top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pretty cool and probably quick? At the least, you could use it to make a mold and pour it again from concrete, when it gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I had one made like this I did about 18 years ago, if this lasts half that long it will probably be fine, since I'm 71 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Wholly craaaaa. I mean 18 years is really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 No use messing with concrete at my age. This bridge probably weighs about 10 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Bridge is installed, hard on an old guys body getting down there. LED lights under the arches even work. Bridge sits on foam blocks, so the wood does not touch the ground. Top is covered with rubber ice/dam stuff so should hold up till we move in a few years.

PAZGRR7315 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Jerry, not only does the new color enhance the arches; your location and style are outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
