Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do before I order a Japanese bridge?
Measure your pond or walkway for a garden bridge first. Choose the size carefully, because it matters most. Pond bridges look graceful if you choose a longer bridge than the minimum span required. Consider hiring a landscape professional; they help you to create your vision to life.
How do I install my Japanese bridge?
For a small bridge, we recommend you fasten it with L post connectors, lag bolts, and wedge anchors to your cement foundations. The fasteners are available at your local home improvement stores. Be sure to set your bridge LEVEL to each other side for your comfort and safety. The large commercial grade footbridges are designed to set in concrete.
How do I maintain my Japanese bridge?
SamsGazebos garden bridges are all treated with oil based semi-transparent brown wood preservative. We highly recommend you finish your bridge with a solid deck stain for easy maintenance.
Can I order a painted Japanese bridge?
Yes, we now offer finishes for the railings and end frames in red or turquoise. These are water-based exterior latex paints.
