  • Need Footbridge Advice

    From smithsghyll@hotmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 26 05:58:39 2019
    I'm building a 26ft foot bridge across our creek using four 2x12 timbers on edge equaly spaced in the three foot width. I'm going to put 2x12 blocking perpendicular between the 2x12s to tie them together. The decking will be three foot 1x6 decking. Will
    this design eliminate deflection in the 26 foot span?
