Got an update! I know I said I was gonna wait until march for the bridge, but some material for my other project ( new fish tank build ) got delayed, so I decided to go ahead and build it now.

Here are the few pics I grabbed:

Lots of treads

Base for the bridge ( used a jigsaw for the arch, not perfect by any means)

And the final product, I am fairly happy with it!

Happy day of the two's! Do you think fantails could survive in Colorado, it got down to -3 today ( pond is probably still in the early 30's ) and I don't know that they would like that.

My fantail survived this winter with max -6 celsius, only ice on surface

I have built several bridges for my property and this is the second one for my pond . Bridges just add a really nice look to a pond . I sometimes sit in the middle of my pond bridge just to distress . It just calms you . Spitters in a pond are great for noise and aeration . I built 4 spitters for in my waterfall pond from just pvc

My only concern now would be them not being able to keep up for food with the comets and shubunkins that are in there now, but I suppose there is plenty of it to go around in a pond!

I think I may add some spitters to the pond this summer too, they add some really nice sound and interest!

great job on the bridge it has just the right curve to it , all too often i see them with so much you know the first time someone stepsw on it with some moisture on it or a begging of moss your going for a ride

I used old pump parts and pvc parts . End caps and pipe and screw in pump arts that were to small or not used on extra pumps . Always have extra pumps around and I keep every part

I think that was more of a factor of laziness, ( not wanting to have to glue multiple boards for the arch ) but I do like the gradual curve, thanks!
