Handcrafted Garden Bridges Builds Traditional Arched Span Bridges with Modern Flair

By: Joe Guraro



 Handcrafted Garden Bridges, a California-based custom bridge
making company, is currently receiving international recognition
for producing custom designed and handcrafted redwood garden
bridges for Japanese water gardens, Koi fish ponds and
landscaped yards.

Though handcrafted wooden bridges have been used for many
centuries for things such as draw bridges, spanning crevices,
creeks, ponds, gulleys and anything from dips to depressions, a
California-based custom bridge maker is currently receiving
international recognition for spanning the divide between
traditional to modern bridge making.

Japan started making wooden arch bridges many decades ago to
beautify and maintain Koi ponds and water gardens and now, in
part due to the efforts of Handcrafted Garden Bridges and its
unique use of California Redwood or Western Red Cedar, other
parts of the world are catching on. Typically made of cedar,
pine, douglas fir, Handcrafted Garden Bridges uses the more
durable, weather, insect and water resistant California Redwood.
By using these materials, Handcrafted Garden Bridges last for
many years. In addition to using weather and water resistant
wood or sealed and stained, Handcrafted Garden Bridges uses
stainless steel hardware such as bolts, washer, nuts and screws.

As an added bonus, Handcrafted Garden Bridges are very easily
assembled, taking an average of only 30 minutes to assemble, and
require only a few tools. Each board is numbered and labeled,
and each post and rail easily matches the numbering system. "All
that is required, is to put in the screws and tighten," said
owner and founder Joe Guraro. "Down through the ages, wooden
arch bridges have brought joy, beauty and comfort to pond
owners, homeowners, farmers, and landscapers," said owner Joe
Guraro, "I'd like to think that my bridges do the same." He also
points out, that besides being an attractive addition to any
garden, it also has an added useful function of opening up an
area that needs to be easily accessed.
