FAQs
Measure your water feature at its widest point, then add at least 30 to 45 cm on each side for the bridge footings. As a guide: choose a 3ft bridge for features under 80cm wide, a 5ft bridge for features up to 1.3m, a 6ft bridge for features up to 1.5m, and an 8ft bridge for larger or more formal garden spans.
Bridges with full guardrails on both sides, the 5FT and 6FT orange footbridges, the 6FT steel bridge, and the 8FT metal arch are designed for regular foot traffic. Moon bridge and low-railing designs are primarily decorative and better suited to occasional light crossing rather than heavy daily walkway use.
Most garden bridges rest securely on their footings without permanent anchoring. For soft soil or elevated flood-risk areas near water, use flat paving slabs or pressure-treated timber sleepers as landing pads. In high-wind locations, ground anchor stakes can be used to secure the bridge feet for additional stability.
