STATE-OF-THE-ART
WOOD BRIDGES:
The Golf Course Industry has a long tradition of using Wood for Bridge Decks. There are many variations of sub-structures – mostly Steel or Wood. In years past, Wood Decks were a good investment.
They provided the natural look favored for Golf Courses. The wood was relatively inexpensive and treatment methods were available to preserve the integrity of the wood. The most common type of wood used for decks is Southern Yellow Pine. Back in the day, these Wood Bridge Decks would last 20+ years.
Things have changed!

THE PROBLEM
Bridge decks don’t last
The quality and grade of SYP available today is much less capable of withstanding the deteriorating effect of UV.
Additionally, certain preservatives are no longer allowed in wood treatment. The net effect of the above is that the UV causes the wood deck to quickly start to hollow out.
Moisture fills the voids and the rotting process starts. In many environments, the ‘new’ Wood Deck starts to look shabby in a couple of years and requires replacement in as few as 4 years.

THE SOLUTION
LINKS BRIDGES’ BridgeDEX
These are made of 100% Fiberglass – one of the world’s strongest and most durable building materials. These are supplied in Panels 4’ long
and custom-made to the actual bridge width. Each Panel resembles four 12” planks.
They are engineered to work on Deck Frame spans up to 24” supporting Vehicular Loads of 10,000 lbs. with safety factors greater than typical wood decks.
For Curbs, we supply HDPE (High Density Polyethelene – aka Structural Plastic Lumber) which is installed in the same manner as Wood Curbs.
