Wood at the garden pond: natural is hardly possible
Somewhat larger ponds are ideal for brightening up with small jetties made of solid wood or even a curved wooden bridge. The quality and service life depends on the type of wood chosen, so that cheaper optics are also avoided in favor of the optics.
Only: the suitable place must first be found for the rustic wooden bridge of Western Red Cedar, Oak or Robinia. It shows again that a pond area can never be too big. Among the most popular elements of natural wood, which are not only excellent in appearance fit, but are also useful, include:
Before starting the construction of the cozy tiled terrace or a dock, in the interests of later load-bearing capacity, attention must be paid to a high quality of wood, because not every type of wood is suitable for outdoor use.
The favorites for pond construction with wood
Professional work - a question of safety
Jetties, bridges and decks should not simply be placed in the water with pole support. Your stand space must be large enough so that it can not damage the shore area with the planting and the pond seal. The load-bearing structure of wooden decks and bridges must therefore begin at least one meter (better 1.50 meters) in front of the edge of the pool. The self-construction of bridges presupposes a certain knowledge of static values and should therefore be carried out exclusively by connoisseurs of the matter in the interest of an expedient and safe accessibility.
Tips
About the construction of wooden structures should be approached with a water area of less than 30 m2 a bit reserved, as they tend to disturb the appearance of small pond systems.
