This bridge spans 30′ to the front door of the home. Stringers are cedar, upper is Ipe, 2×6 for decking and railings, 4×4 for vertical railing supports. Ipe is fairly expensive and varies in color from a reddish brown to almost black. The decking boards were laid out to minimize color variants (and the very dark boards were eliminated)
