September 21, 201015 yr My daughter wanted a small bridge built that would serve as a lawn fixture and be functional so kids and adults could safely walk over it. She also said she didn't want to spend as much as the nursery charge. I went to Home Depot and straight to their mill ends (or waste bin) where you can get pieces of wood for 51 cents. As luck would have it, I got some really nice pieces of treated 2x8 and some 2x6. Then I purchased 5 six foot cedar fence planks for $2 each, each would make 3 planks.. Next I bought some screws. My total bill came to $18.87. It is 2 feet wide and I reinforced it with a middle support so that the cedar planks would not give any. I can see kids using it for a bike ramp and who knows what else.
September 21, 201015 yr Hey Ron, that's really a nice little bridge. It just seem to fit right in with everything else. And, you sure can't beat the material cost.
September 22, 201015 yr Ron that is pretty cool and what a deal you got on the supplies. I need to get you to come do my shopping for me. Before they use that one for a ramp, they had better drag in out in the yard or it looks like they will hit the corner of the house, och!!! I can see them having a great time on it though. I am sure your daughter is very proud.
