Giantex 5 FT Wooden Garden Bridge, Stained Wood Arc Footbridge with Railings, 400 lbs Capacity, Decorative Pond Bridge for Outdoor Garden Yard Backyard Creek Farm (Brown)

THIS IS QUITE NICE! I BOUGHT IT TO USE FOR A DRY CREEK BED SO FAR IT LOOKS WONDERFUL! IT WAS PRETTY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER! I HAVE CROSSED OVER IT AND IT WORKS NICELY! IT'S STONG AND BUILT GOOD! MY ONLY PROBLEM IS I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A LARGER ON! IT WORKS FOR NOW! LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I GET EVERYTHING ALL FINISHED AND ADD MY KOI FISH TOO TOP IT OFF!

Totally love this bridge. Looks amazing.

The directions are below par: no meaningful written guidance (about all it does warn you to “line up the holes,” and “if they don’t match, line them up again,” and you’ll really figure out what that means when you deal with the components), the pictures are small and a bit vague, and the components themselves aren’t labeled. You have to apply 162 screws, manually siting all of them yourself, because while the components have pilot holes, the base you’ve assembled doesn’t. The result is level and does look like the picture in Amazon’s product listing, but don’t jump on it to test it. Walking back and forth on it repeatedly, while leveling it on one side where our ground is uneven, indicated it can handle moderate weight.

Cute bridge. Built it in about 2.5 hours. The length of time is mostly due to the fact that all of the hardware is in one pouch and mixed. So do yourself a favor and dump it all out and spend the 30 minutes sorting through it all and getting everything matched. It will make the rest of your time easier. The directions are very basic and you'll have to go mostly by the picture, but if you take your time it should be pretty straight forward... Especially if you pre sort the hardware! The wood is good, and the pre drilled holes help a lot, but the are still a ton of screws to put in so use the foam you get in the box to put under your knees because you'll be in them for an hour puttin the planks in. Dry fit everything first! Make sure it looks right. Then add screws. Its stained nicely but I took the time to give it a heavy coat of clear poly to help protect it from weather.... Something I would highly advise even if you live in a dry place. All in all, for under 100$, totally worth it.

Just finished it! Looks pretty. We walked on it and realized someone will get hurt very badly when it collapses completely under their weight. It was assembled properly. The wood I received is very soft and the holes for the bolts for the bridge main supports were not drilled correctly by the manufacturer so the frame doesn't assemble securely. As soon as it was walked on, the middle arch sank down! Very poor quality. Due to the softness of the wood, my reinforcing the frame with steel straps can't salvage it. This bridge will be used for firewood! Don't buy. (P.S. I had a previous bridge of the same design and it lasted 8 years).

With the exception of the 8 arched railings, which 2 split since they are so thin, the bridge is quite sturdy. Just be aware, it's not that easy to put it together so that everything is level and fits together. For one thing, I didn't follow the first step to assemble the arched railings to the six posts, because the posts and railings didn't line up. I had to disassemble the arched railings and take out the screws and to first assemble the six posts to the outside two frames and just place, the arched railings into the slots on the posts, WITHOUT nailing them. Once the posts were screwed into the two outside bases, ONLY then did I screw the railings into the posts. Hope this helps. Also, it makes life much easier if you have two people assemble the bridge. Finally, if you have a sore back, (like me), beware that you need to screw about 170 screws to assemble the floor of the bridge to the three bases. You might want to do it in two different time periods.

I am creating a small zen garden and wanted a bridge as one of the elements. I looked at several in this price range and couldn't see a compelling reason to buy one of the higher priced bridges. My husband assembled the bridge in about 2 hours and found all parts and pieces were provided and good quality. Upon completion, the bridge is perfect and surprisingly sturdy. We are going to spray with an enamel clear coat to help protect the wood from our blazing desert sun, but other than that, the finish on the wood is attractive and adequate. This will be the main focal point in my zen garden along with a bamboo fountain, a few plants, small pagoda and of course a Buddha. Thanks for providing a quality and affordable product.Update...have had this sweet little bridge for nearly a year. It has held up beautifully in the sun, cold, wind, etc. My husband painted it in a zen color scheme and it is the centerpiece of our zen garden. We receive compliments regularly.

Love it
