Foot Bridges
Footbridges make it easy for walkers and wheelchair users to access the local countryside . We custom design these bridges to meet current safety regulations. All bridges are made with timber and steel and can be made to adapt to any surroundings.
All foot bridges are available in standard widths, from 800mm to 2000mm wide.
However, many other widths are available as nonstandard. We will be happy to discuss your needs, and customise your bridge as required.
Cycleway Bridges
Cycle paths sometimes cross over waterways or other obstacles. To be safe for cyclists, we design level bridges with decking that provides good traction in all conditions.
We recommend a minimum width of 1.5m to be used on cycle paths.
Our cycleway bridges always have a 1400mm high parapet
Bridges used by cyclists usually have a 4-rail parapet, which we can fit to any of our standard bridge designs. Spindle options are also available if the site has a need for greater security
Bridleway Bridges
There are unique requirements for bridleway bridges. For horses and ponies to safely use a bridge. Decks need be wider and sometime segregated,, to ensure the safety of riders, walkers and cyclists.
Loading requirements need to take account of the concentrated forces applied by heavy animals weight being concentrated in their hooves
We recommend discussing your requirements early on in the planning process for your bridleway bridge, to ensure that your bridge is built correctly and is not delayed.
Bridge Deck Options
Our standard option is a grooved deck in FSC certified European Redwood. Redwood is a tough and resilient softwood timber t. It’s resistant to insect infestation and can withstand the changing weather conditions of the UK.
Bridge decking can also be supplied with anti-slip inserts in 2 grooves.
We are happy to discuss the use of other treatments if needed.
Hardwood decking has many technical attractions but its green credentials are poor. We steer clients away from this option as local hostility can be an issue after installation.
Bridge Parapet Options
We supply post and rail structures as our standard option for parapets.
We can also supply spindles if you require them.Parapet heights vary depending on the location and landscape they are used in.
Parapet Height Requirements
Foot bridge parapets are usually 1150mm.
Cycleway bridge parapets are usually 1400mm
Bridleway parapets are usually 1800mm with close boarded lowe sections

You may to install their bridges with a group of skilled volunteers. This is a great way to cut costs, and is easy to do, as our bridges come in kits, with assembly instructions.
