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

Position and temporarily clamp the pre-cut posts for the railing supports along the length of the beams. Position them at equal intervals along the beam so that their bases and the bolts that will attach them do not conflict with the bolts sandwiching the planks into beams. Additionally, each pair of posts should align across the gap between the beams. The posts were pre-cut with notches on the bottom and tabs on the top to fit into grooves on the underside of the rails.
