ACM Design These trees were salvaged from the property when the site was cleared for the house construction. I am not sure about the top rail, but the free form panel infills are made with rhododendron (also salvaged from the site clearing).

how long before the hand rail rots? i love that look but dont want it to go bad in 2 years »

ACM Design This home is about 5 years old now and the handrail still looks great. All of the wood for the handrails was cleared from the site and reused. The trees for the top of the handrail are likely small poplars. The woven branches are rhododendron. The planks for the bridge itself were milled from oak which I think came from a local source rather than this site itself. Hope that helps.
