Pratt Truss Bridge
Posted on July 24th, 2007Built by Bill H.
Here is the email Bill sent me:
I started making bridges about a year ago and have pictures to share with you. For the first bridge I used a set of plans that I found free on the internet from a guy who was in the army. The bridge plans were designed to be made 100% from manilla folder paper. The plans were to fold the manilla cardboard into the different post diameters and use them to make the trusses.
I decided to use dowels from my local Lowe’s instead. However, I did use the manilla cardboard to reinforce some of the joints and to give thebridge a real look.
You can find the plans for this bridge here:
