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

Space the tread 1/2 inch from the previous tread and secure it with rust resistant deck screws. Add treads in this manner along the length of the bridge. You may have less than a full tread with once you reach the other end of the bridge. Narrow the last tread or several treads to distribute the distance in an attractive manner without making a tread so narrow that it is structurally weak.
