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

Pre-drill pairs of holes staggered slightly on either edge of the 6-inch face of the sandwiched planks. Space the holes every 24 inches (approximately) along the length, but avoid drilling at either end of the planks where you must attach them to the fastening strap on the piers.
