Garden Bridges: Why buy handmade?

Garden Bridges: Why buy handmade?

Some might say that the main advantage of anything handmade is that each item has a distinct level of craftsmanship. This includes garden bridges.

Made to Last

One of the main advantages of handmade bridges is that they are designed to last; when each bridge is being lovingly made by hand, no right-minded craftsman would create something that's not going to last. With handmade bridges you are almost guaranteed that they are going to be made of stronger, more high quality wood, and designed to be truly fit-for-purpose. There's a balance of functionality and aesthetics that comes with anything of this kind but that doesn't mean that you should need to compromise between the two.

No Need to Compromise on Design

Another advantage of handmade bridges, as opposed to the alternatives, is that you can decide exactly what is right for you. This includes everything from the design, size and rail requirements.The aesthetics of a product like this are vital as you need to be able to look out into your garden everyday and be happy with your purchase. As much as garden bridges can be essential for their functional purposes, they also need to look nice and compliment their surroundings.

The Alternatives

If you look at reviews for garden bridges from your average jack-of-all-trades retailer you'll find a bit of a pattern; they're typically described as aesthetically pleasing, nice to sit and look at bridges, but often described as not very structurally sound or durable. What's the point of buying something that looks nice for one summer but then doesn't look as good or last you through the following years?

Supporting your needs

Whether you need a garden bridge to support the weight of a vehicle, have the sense of security to push a pram over, or just for everyday strolling over whilst admiring your garden, it's essential to have faith that your garden bridge can support you and your needs.
