Here is a nice 5 ft cedar brige on ebay for $89 (+$55 shipping).

Hadn't thought to check ebay...I'm a little leery of making this type of purchase without being able to check out the item in-person. Have you bought from them yourself, meeperx?

It's puzzling to me that they claim the wood is cedar, and yet is pressure-treated. And there's a rather significant discrepancy between the pictures of it. Plus the unprofessional rant against a competitor. Still, I think I'll contact them for further info before making my mind up.

Thanks for the tip!

I bought some handmade cedar window boxes off ebay a couple of weeks ago that were very nice-not this seller though.

I read some of the feedback comments and people seem pretty happy with the footbridge kit. The price is certainly low(hopefully it isn't a get-what-you-pay-for kind of deal).

Here is their competitor's listing-same product, but $20 cheaper.

There's a place around Elk River or Anoka that has a large range of outdoor "furnishings"--gazebos, arbors, etc. Does anyone remember their name?

Plants-n-Things. On Hwy 10 just west of Anoka at Sunfish Lake Blvd.
