Crossover Bridge Designs

Post by quadad »

I volunteered :roll: and need to make a crossover bridge for our Pack. Ropes need to be part, but not necessarily majority of the design. Any plans out there or good ideas ?

Here's a design from a buddy of mine: http://members.aol.com/standcmr/99bridge.html
You can combine it with some ideas from http://members.aol.com/standcmr/pltfm.htm using ropes instead of the horizontal rail and maybe adding vertical posts at the low ends of the steps as well.

I don't have any plans, but one idea I had seen(not sure where), they made the crossover bridge to double as a patform for the scouts to walk up on to put their cars on the Derby track. I thought that was a cool idea especially since it will be sitting around for next year, could be a double use.

I think ours is broke and I plan on making one that can be used for both hopefully.

Good Luck on yours! :wink:
