Japanese Bridges – Eclectic Blend of Tradition and Architecture

Japanese Bridges do accentuate the garden very well. There are many traditional Japanese bridges and designs you could choose from which give the garden a stylish and elegant look. Popular Japanese Bridge designs are Covered Japanese garden bridge, Moon Bridge or Drum Bridge, Strolling Pond Bridge, Stone Slab Bridge and Eight fold Bridge

Covered Japanese Bridge over a garden is simply beautiful, providing you not only with a great passage through the garden but also with a place the entire garden from a distance you could even seek shelter below it when its sunny or raining. Installing a Japanese covered bridge can be chosen upon only if you locate a well made manufacturer of the same.

On the other hand Moon Bridges are highly arched bridges which when viewed from a distance look like a complete circle. Also when you glance down into the reflection in the water below, you will see a complete circle. The bridge is made out of carefully cut stripes of wood which give it a well curved shape.

Log Bridges are primarily made with logs. Since the environment is damp all around, you should go for well treated logs which are placed across 2 long logs permitted the people to go across the stream or river. If log bridges are made across rivers it is imperative that they will develop moss and algae on them which makes it essential to remove them on regular basis.

A slightly different bridge but very simple in look is the eight fold bridge which makes you traverse through the path in simple manner, while forcing you to be careful as you tread and thus you glance across at the small and beautiful things present below - maybe a well designed water pond or fresh water stream with multi hued rocks.

Garden bridges could ideally be foot bridges in smaller size. You could have well sized landscape garden which could be easily fit in a garden wooden bridge. Depending upon your design and preference you could go for a single rail or multi-rail bridge or even a flat bridge or an arched bridge, high rise bridge or even customize your bridge as per your imagination.

When placing an order for a garden bridge, do make it a point to check out the wood and its quality. Preferably, people use tanalised wood in making garden bridges these days. You could always ask for the bridge as per your requirement and shade. Tanalised wood bridges are long lasting, affordable and require low maintenance.
