Create a Charming Feature: Tips for Choosing Garden Bridges

A garden bridge in your own garden is a kind of landscaping that gives your garden a regal and natural look. A pedestrian bridge over the Thames is also known as the garden bridge.

Garden bridges can add a touch of class if you have water features or pebble paths in your back yard. Garden bridges can be made of either wood or metal and look decorative. There are many different wood styles, such as the classic Japanese-inspired models.

Metal bridges are made of wrought iron, which has many intricate designs. However, a good feature of these metal bridges is that they are very sturdy and durable and you do not have to worry about pickling or refining, as you would with wood. Arched or flat bridges can be placed over garden elements such as a small stream or gorge.

The available garden bridges are sometimes even 14 to 15 feet long and can be placed over small decorative basins, so you can just sit on the bridge instead of swimming. Garden bridges are often supplied with crash barriers, which are particularly helpful as they prevent children from falling off the bridge.

Some bridges have wooden handrails, others chain guard. The best material for a bridge, however, is natural wood, as it is safe in rain or snow and prevents you from slipping.

A garden bridge enchants your garden in any case and conjures a fairytale.
