Raised Boardwalk & Wetland Boardwalk Design
As specialists in the design and manufacture of boardwalks, raised boardwalk and wetland boardwalk design are two of our specialities. Even in difficult environments with unstable, swampy ground, we are able to create raised wetland boardwalks that make previously inaccessible natural environments accessible to the general public.
How Do You Make A Raised Wetland Boardwalk?
We begin by designing the layout and then marking it out in the wetland. The next step is to install posts and support beams followed by joists, before eventually laying the decking and fitting safety rails where needed. The images below show some of the different stages in the creation of a wetland boardwalk.
Step 1: Posts
Step 2: Support Beams
Step 3: Joists
Step 4: Extra Support
Step 5: Decking
Step 6: Safety Rails
What Is A Wetland Boardwalk?
A wetland boardwalk is a boardwalk that runs through a wetland area, making the area accessible to visitors. It keeps visitors safe and clean whilst preventing any potential damage that could be done to the wetland. All of our wetland boardwalks are actually raised boardwalks, elevated on hardwood posts that are embedded into the wetland. Typically we use UK-grown oak for all parts of the boardwalk, including the decking, but we also use UK-grown sweet chestnut. Both materials are rated as durable, meaning they have a life expectancy of 15-25 years without harmful treatments that would eventually leach into the water table.
