Hello folks ,
Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum for this question but wasn't sure where to post it . I need to gain access across a small creek to get into my woodlot . The span is about 1 across with a max. dept of about 6' . It used to have 2 15" culverts but they would always plug up when I wasn't there for a period of time & wash out . I have a 2000# tractor pulling a 4' x 8' trailor with a 1500# axle to load with firewood to cross this bridge . I've heard of folks cutting down & using a mobile home chasis but they are not very strong unless braced well . I was thinking of trying to find used utility poles , laying them down & screwing 2x6 PT decking over them or trying to find an old tractor trailor flat bed & laying it down to span the creek . Any ideas on a low cost way to bridge the creek that would last for a while would sure be appreciated .
Thanks ,
Bob
