Interesting. I never would have thought of the support structure as a bridge. I was thinking more in terms of piles driven into the lake bed with stringers and chords laid along the top with diagonal bracing hammered onto the piles.
You guys have given me a great idea which might actually make construction easier or if not more interesting. :?
I can draw up and layout a jig / template on the work bench and assemble rows of trestles...then carry them over to the "lake" and set them in place.
Great ideas guys. Thanks a bunch. This is going to be AWESOME!
