Bridges fall short
The author shortchanges the footbridge builder, showing comparatively few variations in design and little in the way of technique.

A Landscape Architects View,
This review is from: How to Build Paths, Steps & Footbridges (Paperback)
Outstanding selection of photos defining numerous material selections and their designed use.
Paramount to the process is Peter's description of the planning and design process. Easy to follow, thorough, and it leads the amature and professional through the inital idea(s) to a well defined project - bricks and mortar. The step by step direction tool(s), material(s) and know how should result in a successful project for friends and family to enjoy and rave about. Just look at the pictures. HUNGER!!! A wonderful book for young and old, amature and professional. JOHN W. CAMPBELL Landscape Architect

Paths Steps and Footbridges,

This review is from: How to Build Paths, Steps & Footbridges (Paperback)
A "fresh", well conceptualized and practical book that deals effectively and quite thoroughly with one of the two strategic components of any landscape --- the movement space. The other being landing or gathering space. The book is well illustrated and profusely augmented with simple clear diagrams. It benefits from a strong outline and simultaneous information on how to build paths, steps and footbridges It offers practical implementation tips. Stunning even inspiritational photographs complement the diagramatic graphics. A very good book for the "do it yourselfer" who could benefit from wisdom of those who have constructed well.
