I already have a creek bed, but would like to know how to build the bridge. Thanks, Lynn

Hi Lynn, the bridge is easy, the sides are cut with an electric 'jig saw' from your own pattern to suite the size of the stream, and the top is decking cut to the size again that is right for you

Hi Lynn, lost the wording ? but to finish the bridge just screw it all together, don't forget to add two struts under the bridge deck to stop sideways movement. All good fun.

Thank you, the sound of the water fall and the stream just make it.
