24 Aug 21:
We have a small drainage ditch running between our backyard and our excess acreage, we thought we'd build a scenic bridge across it so we can get out to a planned garden shed/mower storage/She Shed.
We looked online for some inspiration, a simple arched bridge caught our eye. We cut 4 stringers out of a 2x10 with a circular saw. I suppose it shouldn't still amaze me that you can cut a curve with a circular saw, seeing as I have a hard time cutting a straight line. The little Kobalt saw chewed through 4 boards and made a lot of sawdust.
The bridge is 6 feet wide, 12 feet long. Skipper set the stringers on 24 inch centers, then began planking with 2x6 lumber. I took photos.
We cut 2 more stringers out of a 2x12 to make a toe rail.
SCOUT supervised.
