Enjoyed the bridge build. I think it's a fine job. I read the comments of those who posted and you can take from them and learn but for doing this for the first time, you did an excellent job. Yep, I like the gate too (smile). Have a fine week.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Orion Sonny i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I might have done a few things differently, but it aint my bridge. I think it looks pretty good too. For the gate naysayers, how else is the troll living under the bridge gonna stop people to collect a toll? 🤣 Only thing i see of fair importance that needs attention is the extra threaded rod from hinges sticking out. Id cut those off short, possibly an impalement risk there if someone were to slip and slide.

Rest beams on post notch outs, not bolted on subject to high shear forces. Nice concrete stream pad, but water will sit in post base. Even pressure treated wood should never contact wet earth.
Treated or not those beams are touching ground. I recommend either resting them on a cement block or cementing the ends. Either way those ends won't dry out and that's 5 yrs or less.
Thanks for commenting, it might not show in the video but each end of the beams are painted with linseed oil for protection. On top of that, every ends of the 6x6's are propped up by a cement block like you mentioned and lined with rocks. Our mistake here was to put a bit of soil on the sides of each beams and we do realize that. It was one of our small project to pop up a few 2x6's and remove the dirt we put on each side, the rocks we put there was more than enough. Having a lot to learn in carpentry and things like these, I wish I would of known someone like you to tell me that beforehand. Could of saved me a few hours! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, it was dry season in the video, lots more water usually, it would dig in pretty bad without the bridge. Plus with all the lugging of tools/rocks/materials we plan bringing on the other side...It is necessary with a trailer.
Is it necessary to put center posts in the middle of the creek like that? I would think that the water would wash it away or cause sideways stress with branches collecting or something. Also I have a question for just ATV why not just use 2 beams of 4x4s? is it necessary to have 4 of them?
Hey man thanks for commenting! The reason behind the posts is to make the bridge overall stronger. Since the posts are attached by 2 (2x8's) that sits directly in the middle and underneath the 4 (6x6's)...Plus I wanted a gate, I like my privacy. As of now, the center posts never moved an inch. I placed rocks and graved underneath the paver and deck blocks that are holding both posts. The reason why I chose to put 4 (6x6) beams was simple, on the other side of that bridge is where I'll put my cabin and work on other projects...For my cabin I will be placing ground screws and the machine used for that weighs over 4000lbs...I was planning ahead. My bridge is certainly overkill for a simple atv but I could run a truck on if if I wanted too. I am by far not an expert but personally, I would not run my side by side, a (1465lbs machine, not counting me, friends and a full load) on 2 (4x4)....Espcially with no middle support. If you have more questions feel free to ask away :) Cheers!
Common guys, not everyone has done this a thousand times like u guys. U skipped the whole part, of how you set the foundation supports in the cement. U make it hard for guys like me, tht hv nvr built a walkway. Every step and no short cuts, please ! Nice vid guys !
Hey thanks for commenting! First off, this is my very first project, I have no building skills what so ever. So thank you for thinking we made this 1000 times...I love to learn and research though so I have that on my side. The 6x6's uprights are on top of a bed of gravel, on top of that is a square patio stone and a deck block made to receive a 6x6 like I showed on the video at 2:21...The 6x6 posts are just sitting in the deck block, not even attached, solid as heck . the four 6x6 beams that make the bridge are on of bricks to make sure that the beam is not touching the soil directly, it also helps staying in place, this part would be at 0:59 on the video. If you have more questions let me know.
Sitting the upright on a step resting on gravel undermines the entire structure of an otherwise very well built bridge. The gate...I don't know what to say. I mean, one hell of a waste of a gate.
This has to be the first project I've ever done in my life, I'm sure there are more flaws than you even caught. But I do stand by my gate, I do like my privacy (it does have a chain and lock). With zero carpentry skills, I think this bridge is not too shabby. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know what you would have done with the uprights, I'm always open to learn.

It's always nice to have positive feedback. Even better when you can learn from them...Saves you time and money hehe. Thanks for commenting! Cheers!

Thanks man!
@@BeardsandBranches no prob, I enjoyed the one about the water spring also.
@@50Acres I will have a video up in a few months of my off grid bath house that actually works off my spring, stay tuned :D
Awaye! Met ca au nivo! ;)
Je suis un ''niveau'' freak, mes pauvres amis en souffre. haha.
Oui oui c'est ca. On souffre! Hahaha! :D :D

And yes I also realize this video is years old, but a comment resurrection never hurt....🤣🤣🤣
Beau pont!!! ;)
Merci pour l'aide!!

C'est du fun passer le 4 roues la dessus asteur! Je suis vraiment content du résultat!
Yes man, d'autre projets a venir! Merci pour l'aide encore!!!

Cool build. Would you happen to have a supply list?
Yes actually, but I am on my land right now and do not have it with me. I will send it your way in a couple of days. Thanks for watching!
I subscribed
How were the spacing boards between the support beams secured to the timbers?
Nice bridge! But seems a little unnecessary, doesn't look like the stream is hard to cross!

It’s good but I have no idea why you built it like that???
built it like what?
