Step 2 - Cut Pieces
1.
Cut the six-foot 1x8 boards exactly in half so that each board is about 36 inches.
2.
Cut the (1) ten-foot 1x8 board into (3) 36-inch pieces of the same length as of step 1.

3.
Cut the six-foot 2x8 into (2) 36-inch pieces that are exactly the same length as the boards of
steps 1&2.
4.
From four of the 2x4's cut (4) 32 1/2 " pieces and (8) 31" pieces. You can do this efficiently by
cutting two 31" pieces and one 32 1/2" piece out of each eight-foot 2x4.
5.
Out of the remaining 2x4's cut (4) 44" pieces and (4) 40 1/2" pieces.

You should now have:

(2) 36" 2x8 boards
(3) 8-foot 2x8 boards
(8) 31" 2x4 boards
(4) 32 1/2" 2x4 boards

Step 3 - Build Bridge Frame
Attach the (2) 36-inch 2x8 pieces to the ends of the (3) 8-foot 2x8 pieces as shown in figure 1. Secure
each 2x8 with two 2" deck screws on each end to make attaching the lag screws easier. Drill (18)
5/32" pilot holes and then use 3 lag screws and washers at each location as shown in figure 1 for a
total of 18 lag screws and washers. You will need a 9/16 ratchet wrench to screw in the lag bolts.
Don't attach decking yet - it is much easier to do this as the very last step so you have access when
attaching the guard rails.

Figure 1
If you look close you will see that each 2x8 was secured with 2 deck screws at the top and bottom
before drilling 3/16" pilot holes and inserting the 3/8" lag bolts and washers.
Step 4 - Cut Corners of 31" Pieces
Cut the corners off the (8) 31" pieces as shown in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2
Cut the corners off the 31" pieces as shown above. You can print out Figure 2a, cut it out, and use it
as a marking guide.
Step 5 - Construct the Guard Rails
Lay out the pieces as shown in Figure 3 below. It is helpful to use the side of the bridge as a stop as
shown in Figure 4. Fasten the 44" pieces to the 40 1/2" pieces first as shown below. Then attach the
remaining pieces. Check for square in the 90-degree angles! Fasten with (3) 3" deck screws in each

location. To easily construct the other side guard rail, use the first guard rail as a template. When
done with both sides, check to see that they are identical as shown in figure 5 below.
Figure 3
The two middle posts are 40 1/4 inches apart.
Figure 4
I used the frame as a stop for the bottoms of the guard rail.

Figure 5
The two guard rail assemblies should match when placed back to back.
Step 6 - Drill Holes for Carriage Bolts
Temporarily attach the sides with 2" deck screws to hold railings to frame as shown in Figures 6 & 7
below. Then drill 3/8" holes where you will attach the 3/8" carriage bolts (8 per side) with washer
and nuts. When drilling holes, take care to avoid hitting lag bolts near ends - these will dull your bit in
a hurry! Take the sides off by backing out the deck screws. You will attach the railing at the site
where the bridge will be. The completed bridge is too heavy and bulky to safely lift!
