VINGLI 5 ft Garden Bridge, Classic Wooden Arch with Safety Rails Stained Finished Footbridge, Decorative Pond Landscaping, Backyard, Creek or Farm

I am quite happy with this bridge. It is a little smaller than I envisioned, but is sturdy once all the bolts are tightened up completely. You definitely need a power drill fitted with a screw driver for the huge amount of screws that are used. Also be careful to lay out the floor boards first to get the proper spacing before attaching.I put two coats of polyurethane on it to protect from the ground contact and weathering. It looks great across the storm ditch in front of my house- definitely ups the view and functionality.

Very cute bridge, it was easy to put together. Seems sturdy!

Once put together, the bridge came out looking good. The hardware was good quality and the all of the pre drilled holes lined up well. Now the hard part: The so called instruction were absolutely horrible.the one page "intallation sheet" was all crumbled up in a wad and looked like trash. The box was mangled and had holes in it. Looked like all the parts were there inspite of the mess. I ended up using common sense to put it together not using the horrible install sheet.Again, the end result is good, getting there was not.Took me about 5 hours to finish putting the bridge together.I would think the vendor would do a better job with the installation instructions with a better user friendly guide!!

This bridge is lovely. It's exactly as described. It was fairly easy to put together with my mini electric screwdriver/drill and the included tool. Follow the instructions exactly. I.e., don't tighten anything till you have all the parts (except the floor boards) put in place. You will need to adjust. I needed a bigger drill for the floorboards as there are no holes to drill into, which is probably a good thing because you'll need to adjust the floorboards accordingly. You'll see what I mean when you get to that part. It came with the exact amount of parts, screws and such necessary. The company seems easy to work with too. It even came with a sweet thank you note from Roxy. (It looks a little dark in the photos because we had some due overnight.)

Arrived within just a few days after ordering. All pieces and hardware present. Much easier to assemble than I feared it would be! Instructions were easy to follow although it would help if they were more clear regarding how to mount the outside bottom rails (specifically which side of the rail posts and in which direction to insert the bolts. I checked out photos from the web page and was able to determine from those).As others have stated, you must be very careful and not forceful when screwing the pieces together. The railing cross pieces are very fragile. A couple still cracked but I proceeded gently. Pre-drilling would have helped. I had no other problem assembling and all other pre-drilled holes were as they should have been. As soon as I determine what shade I want to use, I will stain. My flower beds and garden paths currently flood in heavy rains with mulch piles everywhere so I will be digging a rock river bed for overflow when that happens, with the bridge crossing it. I’m debating about purchasing another bridge (I am that satisfied!) and creating an “island” out of the seating area in the photo. (Photos are with bridge placed on both paths leading to that area).I am a 65 year old man and assembled it in 2 to 3 hours working at an easy pace! I was then able to pick it up without problem and carry it from front porch to the back yard without any problem. (It’s lightweight yet sturdy!) I plan on storing it in the basement in the winter months to protect it from NY winters.Great value for the price point.

Based on the photo of the lab I was definitely expecting this bridge to be much bigger than it is. It’s very cute but not super practical for anything more than decoration. It was fairly easy to put together and provided gloves to wear which was good because the stain did rub off on them during assembly.Here’s a photo of my lab for a more accurate depiction of the size.

Just what we needed! Very sturdy

When I saw the one page of instructions with no words, I was a little worried, however, this thing came together in about two hours (single woman working alone). If I can do it, anyone can do it! It looks great and I’m getting tons of compliments.
