Consumer Sales Network 5-Ft. Long Wooden Decorative Garden Bridge

a bit smaller than I liked. Even though I measured before purchasing I was still a little surprised how small this was. The railing comes up to my elementary aged kids shins. I purchased this as an attractive but functional cross over for an area of our yard that develops a small creek and gets a bit muddy in heavy rains (like, all spring). I wanted my kids to cross over to their ball field without getting excessively muddy. It serves this purpose, but barely. I would have paid a bit more for a larger one, but it seems the next size option was MUCH larger and 5x the price. Otherwise easy to assemble and acceptable quality for the price.

This is the same bridge I have purchased at the Christmas Tree Shop some years ago and I liked it then and I liked it now. Although it cost double what I paid way back then, it is still a very, very good value. It was more fully assembled this time and it was stained which my first one was not. That was probably what led to it partially deteriorating. This time, I also took the precautionary step of putting 2 additional coats of stain on it before I put it in place. It also helps if you rest it on a stone base to lift it above the soil.

Love this little guy!I am a 72 y/o woman with arthritis and put it together myself.It was a bit hard on my hands using the wrench, and took a couple of hours, but thankfully all the boards were already screwed on--I could not have managed that.It now sits in my garden over a dry riverbed.BTW--I did not used the last screws to put the rails in place--I glued them in with wood glue and hope it holds up in the rain.I have had it several months and it seems still sturdy.

Terrible quality. One bridge broke just 1 week in use. The bridge was full of mold in the box as well.It is absolute junk, don't buy! It weathered really bad and cracked. I'm finding myself replacing all the pieces of wood for redwood. I bought two and have owned them for less than a year. I painting/sealing and substituting all wood on them.

We got this as a filler decoration for our yard. It's mostly pre-assembled, so it was easy to put together, although the holes didn't line up well in some spots. Regardless, once together it's proven to be sturdy and attractive, although as one might expect, the color has faded considerably over the past year - becoming more green. Still, it's overall a good value. Ours is now 2 years old and still going strong.

I was a little disappointed in the quality of wood and stain used for the bridge. In addition, one of the main supports has a crack down the middle that I did not notice until 95% assembled. Overall it serves the purpose of ornamentation but I would not recommend mature adult use the bridge. parts of the assembly require to people but instructions were easy to follow.

Very happy about ordering this bridge! Sight unseen is always a little strange but this bridge is really worth it. It is stained real cedar wood. We weather proofed the wood so it will keep more of its color. The picture looks like the bridge is smaller so be sure and read the dimensions and the space you want to use it in. Ours is perfect!

We placed over our dry stream and placed an Aderondak Chair under the big tree at the opposite side of the bridge. Makes a lovely place to place to escape and ponder. We get lots of compliments from neighbors.
