Preamble
Build a Japanese arched Garden Bridge or a Curved footbridge
In summer 2012, I built a wooden arched garden bridge.

22 feet long to cross my garden stream.

The creek splits my 200 feet long backyard. Reach the other side of the creek was not useful for us.

I did't find anything on Internet to help me. So, I share my project with you... if this building project can help some gardeners or landscapers.
