Switched over to it a few years ago, great stuff

Bought this place 8 years ago and the bridge was in place , it was old then and just got worse over the years, no before pictures but just a small creek it crosses , had 2 16’ I beams going across with a 2x12 bolted to the top of each then oversized 3” timbers for slats that were lag bolted to the 2x12s , just use it for ATV and walking crossings but pretty convenient to access a good bit of my property. The old one worked well, only problem is that when we got a heavy rain the creek would rise and the Timbers would float off , they were becoming rotten and the 2x12s were well past their prime , it was time for some improvement

My neighbor spearheaded this whole project and he is pretty handy , we decided to strip it down to the I beams and reset and level them

Next we decided to use 3” galvanized pipe(neighbor had plenty scrap that we used) to make sort of a cattle guard to go over , he welded the pipe to some 3x3” angle with a 3” spacing ,



Then we toted the deck to the site and used the tractor to place it on top of the I beams, got it pretty level and square and used some jumbo 3/4” x10” u bolts to cinch it up

Felt real good about that but wanted to add a plank to walk over and some bumpers on the sides, so screwed a new 2x12 down the center and then 2x10s bolted on the sides to the angle with 1/2” carriage bolts, added a few reflector strips for fun

I think it came out great and will be there for a long time

You can get a two pack on Amazon. They take a couple of days to really get going, but when they do they catch thousands of flies and work for quite a while.

I have some similar to that, and they are awesome for house flies, but never caught horse flys with them

My gosh they stink though

use a rinse aid, I hate to have to, but it works
