Popsicle Bridge Holds 500 lbs.
Hi, I just wanted to share the excitement…by using ideas from your website (recommended by my son’s Cub Scout leader) my son Jackson and I were able to build a Popsicle bridge with approximately 125 sticks. It set a new record by holding 500 lbs. for about 15 seconds before breaking! Thanks for the great ideas…not bad for the first try! Mark from Fenton, MI

Hello
Great design. My Son, took yourr pictures off this website and from your picture built the bridge but made several improvements. He added more upright popicle sticks to the side and did not cut any popsice sticks and allowed them to extended out. He layered another truss on the outside and beefed up the top with three layers going in three different directions. The bridge was exactly 150 sticks. They started testing it with 50 lbs weights and went up. THey ran out of weights in the gym to test it, so a gentlemen in the crowd jumped up on top (his weight….240 lbs)….the bridge still didn’;t break. After 635 lbs and no more weight to add….the teacher gave my son an A plus. Great design. Thanks.
wow that really cool i have to build a bridge for science and i really was thinking of using yours a starting plan and adding but my weights will have to hang from the bottom of the bridge not the top.. do you think that will make a difference??
