Fiberglass Boardwalks & Elevated Walkways
Links Bridges 100% Fiberglass boardwalks carry people and carts over wetlands, marsh, streams and soft ground without the rot, rust and constant re-decking of wood. At TPC Wisconsin, Links Bridges supplied nearly 1,000 feet of bridges and boardwalks for the course redesign.
Why Fiberglass boardwalks
Longevity
Built to retain its structural integrity for 75+ years. Fiberglass does not rot, rust or corrode in wet ground.
Low maintenance
No boards to replace and no sealing. The boardwalk stops being a recurring repair project.
Light on the site
Fiberglass is lightweight compared with steel or concrete, so sections can often be set with smaller equipment, which helps in wetlands and tight sites.
Natural look
A deck molded from real wood planks fits trails, preserves and parks.
Boardwalks and long crossings
Built section by section
Boardwalks are built from custom 100% Fiberglass sections. Single spans run up to 50 feet, so long boardwalks need fewer supports in the water or wetland. At TPC Twin Cities, a 120-foot crossing made in 3 sections replaced a bridge that had piles in the lake every 10 feet, with only 2 sets of piles in the lake.
Widths are 4, 6 or 8 feet standard, with custom widths available, and each section is built to the heaviest load that will actually use it, from walkers to carts and utility vehicles.
Who we build boardwalks for
