This unique design puts stress into compression of the arch members, in line with the grain, which, with a firm foundation, makes it incredibly stronger than any beam design.

It needs less lumber and has many advantages over a conventional truss or beam bridge and none of its ugliness.

The entire arch assembly consists of only 2 parts, duplicated as required.

It is perfectly suited for prefab, compact transportation and quick, easy assembly on-site.

An infinite variety of arcs, strengths, configurations and spans up to 50 feet, using standard lumber, are possible. If you prefer metric measurements, specific spans, or wish to use other lumber sizes, then contact me for a quote. I'll try to help as best I can.
