Making a foot bridge, need some help
I am building a foot bridge over a creek. I don't want to try and sink
footers/posts in the creek itself, I am wondering how long a 2x12 can span. I am able to find 26 foot treated 2x12's locally. If I sandwiched two of them together on each side of a say a 3 foot wide foot bridge would that work? The ends of the bridge will be treated 6x6 posts (so 4 total). The span between posts will almost be the full 26 feet. My question is: 1. is this safe? 2. is the perfect? 3. is this overkill?
