    Bridge Lumber

    That is actually a great quote. however. it’s a slow moving creek that only floods out if I let the beavers have their way. Primarily it will serve to allow foot traffic and atv’s but it would be nice to have the option to drive a tractor or skidsteer over it. ill get some pictures today or...

    Bridge Lumber

    Ratchet Rake - Strap & Cable or Binder & Chains?

    I just finished making mine and I used strap all the way around. I slid the strap through heavy braided hose hoping that will protect it from abrasion. Having said that, I havnt had a chance to test it out yet so I can't say whether it works!

    ratchet rake

    I'm looking to build myself a ratchet rake, was hoping someone with one could provide me with a few measurements. I've already made up a template but I'd like to know how close I am to the original. I attached a crude picture depicting the measurements I'm seeking, for both the large and small...
