Learn how to laminate beams and assemble decking and rails for a woodland footbridge.

Work on the same side of the gulley, digging out the footing area and then placing and leveling the second pier. The distance between the first and second piers represents the width of the bridge. Measure to ensure this distance is correct based on your original plans. Keeping in mind the footprint of your bridge plan, position the second pier at right angles to the first pier and to what will be the locations of the third and fourth piers. In the coming steps, you will be making many tiny adjustments to position the bridge support properly.
