Hey guys, not too sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I have a very wet, low creek area that separates my home from the rest of our acreage. I was planning on digging out and reshaping this area and constructing a bridge over the "gully." This bridge will need to be approx. 25-30' long.
My questions is, can I cut 2 large trees (12-18" diameter) in my woods to use as the foundation for the bridge support? I would then debark and possibly plane one side for treated plywood planks. This bridge would need to support tractors, atvs, etc... approx. (#4000). I have plenty of live and dead standing trees on our 13acres.
Other option would be to buy 2 telephone poles... but I'm going to have enough $$$ tied up in planks and hardware. just researching other options.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
