We went to a scrap yard and told the guy what we were looking for and in a werk he called us and we paid alittle more than he paid for them but still less than treated wood.the bridge is still there 9 years later.

We use 2-7/8 oilfield pipe. Take 3-4 joints lay them next to each other a weld together. Make 2 and lay them across ditch at proper width and weld some cross peices to hold it together. Run cables to trees or drive some pieces or pipe on each end to hold it in place. Joints are 35 ft long and cheap here. I don't know how the availabity of it there. Been using pipe bridges on the farm for years never had a problem.

What about putting in a pipe and covering it. No more ditch.

Hey cuz. I'm not sure if you got a tractor with loader but if not I'll come and cut you a way across it then I got tons of big flat creek rocks you could stick in the dirt. Gravel would prob wash away but these won't.

telephone poles for sale on craigslist -- http://bham.craigslist.org/grd/4035079614.html

Id also suggest putting some old chain link fence down on the decking for traction.. Was in a club a few years ago and one frosty morning a guy lost his off the side.

Texas crossing would be a lot cheaper
and easier and wouldn't float away.

Find an old car hauler trailer, cutting torch and welder, cut the trailer aprt in sections that will reach, take it to the creek in sections drop it in with tractor weld up and rock and roll. sounds like an aldeer project everyone needs to be involved in. bbq and cold beverages and this deal is done.

Had a guy tell me once they used guard rail off the highway. I can't speak to it personally but he said it worked great

Guardrail can work for foot traffic and maybe a small atv if span is short. I may have some. Would have to look but there are better alternatives
