Arch Foot Bridge

[wombat457]

Actually in hindsight - that is sad

Good job , I did a curved double track bridge one time using Same technique.

 

[wombat457]

I did a curved trestle last year - so I figured the method would work for this little side project

Tony,
Just keep working it. It will come together the way you envision it. Glenn

Thanks Glenn - it's getting there

Done a little more:

Very nice!!!

Thanks Mike - hopefully it'll turn out okay. Have no idea where I am going to use it of course, but it gives me something to do in between doing wiring

Are you going to do actual boards for the walkway or a sheet scribed to represent individual boards?

 

[wombat457]

Actual boards for it laid one board at a time

 

[Twinboystrains]

Hopefully you’ll consider wider boards. The last arched foot bridge I crossed had rough cut 2x8 as footboards. In my travels, I saw one bridge with random sized boards. Use what you have to get the job done.

 

[wombat457]

Have all of the railing supports in, now for the foot boards

Morning and thanks Gents - it's getting there

Getting the boards down, one board at a time

Getting the boards down, one board at a time

This is turning out beautiful!

 

[Hutch]

Sweet!

Thanks Mike, not bad I guess. Looks more like a little jetty than a foot bridge though - old and rickety

 

[wombat457]

Thanks Hutch - appreciate it

Once you blend it in wherever you plan on putting it, you’ll never notice the difference. Just my opinion but a jetty wouldn’t have the curve in it. Normally they just angle straight down to the dock.
