Thought I would share some pics of bridges I have built.


I find that they are fun to build and often cheap to make.

Evidently the 'cat' likes them too....wonder if it's because they (cat and bridges) are black!

They are great looking bridges. I should be so talented!

These are simple to make. all are plastic (pvc) trim pieces bought at home depot and glued or screwed together with deck screws. the trim can be cut with a good sharp pair of gardening shears so you don't need a saw. The last bridge is plastic paneling molding fused with pvc pipe cement and cost about 12 dollars in materials

Those are neat Bill. Could you post pix of the pieces that you use, before you cut them up and paint them?

I agree with Jerry, let's see some more about th3e construction of the bridges. Jerry, you build a good looking bridge also...

One can never have too many bridges, and rocks.

Those look fantastic and are Cost Effective.

John,
I like rocks, on long Island all we have is sand, so I would have to make them.
