STRINGER
TIMBER RECREATION BRIDGES
Designed as a kit, Wheeler's Timber
Stringer Recreation Bridge is ready for the
remotest location or the middle of town.
Choose from standard plans or dress it up
with optional railings. Everything is included
to complete the job.
For remote locations, kits reduce the
size of equipment required. All practical preframing is done prior to treatment for easy
assembly and to ensure maximum life. Field
cutting and drilling is minimal.
Build in any season and if damaged, repair
with simple carpenter's tools.
Wheeler can offer many designs fully
shop-assembled and ready to set, right off
the truck.
Every bridge starts with a good foundation.
The timber stringer bridge is compatible with
concrete spread footings, timber cribs, driven
piling, etc. With site information provided,
Wheeler offers complete plans, sealed by
professional engineers, meeting all applicable
standards for pedestrian or vehicular traffic
such as golf carts, snowmobiles, ATV's or
maintenance vehicles.
Attention to detail ensures quality.
