DIY (Foot) Bridge Build - Creek Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- We have a creek that runs through the back of our property and I've been needing a bridge for a while as an easy way to get back there and mow. Finally built one!
I'm starting this video/project as a series because I'd like to do a few future projects related to this. Eventually I would like to add hand rails and a patio/pergola type area on the other side of the bridge. Stay tuned for the rest of the series!

You sir have mastered the art of improvising, you found a way to make the seemingly impossible work. I simply loved your creativity, taking baby gurl for a spin at the end, gave the project the best final touches ever. Loved that tender daddy/daughter moment
What a nice comment. Thank you 🙏

I really liked this man. I just completed a much smaller scale bridge similar to this.
Good job on the build, if you notched the beams you could have had the joists sitting on the beams and screwed with the lags and it woulda been a hell of a lot stronger. I wouldnt rely solely on the lag screws for all of my support.
You always come back and replace the lag screws with 3/8" carriage bolts but thats just an idea. I gotta make myself a little bridge where my backyard slopes into a gully and then goes back uphill.
Great ideas! Have fun and good luck with your project.
That is awesome
Lag bolts shear weakest point, shoulda notched out posts, set beams, THEN bolted.
Concrete, aluminum or marine-rated dock posts for stream posts.
If you did that in one day..you ate a super genious...great job...
Nice work. But how come you didn't protect the wood framing with a polyurethane? I have a 150" and a 183" bridge and I am having issues with rotting wood now. I have to redo them after 6 years. However I am trying to do this on the cheap.
Please just put a 2 by 6 long ways under center post beam. Should have notched but hind sight right. Will be about same as notching
What a place
Thanks 🙏
Well done! Looks great!
Glad you like it!
Man, your videos are so entertaining to watch. That is a massive “foot bridge!”
If you had included side rails for safety, how would you hand changed your process (leave the vertical posts longer)?
Cut the music pleazzzzzzzzzzz
Really awesome ur work n tnx
Awesome video and great build!! 😀
Glad you like it!
Very nice video! Love to make one myself but I don’t have a creek😂
Nice build man, I have the same issue although my creak is not as wide and have a bridge already that I just need to renovate. Maybe I will just redo from scratch. Thanks for sharing, that’s some hard work... great job
Cool, thanks
Please don't copy his carpentry skills on your bridge build or you will end upside down with a atv on top of you
do you thinkk a car will drive over it?
Holy sh*t..! Is it still standing after 8 months?
Yep
I believe he’s being a little sarcastic. Correct me if I wrong, but this is actually poorly built. It’s not going to handle loads and not show signs of weaken. His comment is not wrong.
Good job!
Thanks
Keep em coming, subbed
When you run short on length you could have doubled the whole board and had more screws holding it in place. just food for thought.
How much do you think this roughly cost all together? Awesome bridge! Need to build this at my place lol
I’m hoping to be around $2500
@@MakersLane sorry I mean just for the base layer in this video. Do you mean that the lumber and stuff you Used to build this specific base cost you $2500? Thank you for your time!
Oh yes sorry the base was about $750
This video should have way more views than this!
Nice job, but you really should put a nice railing on it to make it safer for your children who will be playing on it all of the time, and it fill make the bridge look much better also. Good job!
just be careful with that Bridge, as kiddo's are clumsy and overly bold, and will likely, fall off that bridge, a few times over the course of a few years. The stones underneath, are a bit scary. Though, water, in general is scary for kiddos, so keep that in mind.
Yes.. in general.. don't let your kids die..
Put safety fence on bridge for your children.
5:14 What are you doing????? LOL
Haha I was trying to get it level.😬
He's using the old tried and true weight and stomp level.
Literally everything you did is wrong. Please don’t do anything this guy did in the video.
Ohk
You need to work on your carpentry skills and proper measuring. Not sure if I'd follow your video for my project. But if you are okay with what you put up then good for you
Would be watchable if not for the awful music..
To keep from killing aquatic wildlife, particularly invertebrates at the base of the food chain, silt barriers should have been installed first to prevent polluting the stream with mud and concrete.
This creek is from a corn field runoff. There are no fish in here.
Sorry. Dumb music. Very tiring.
