Wild Willow Bridge The Solo CorTen Bridge was installed in the Dutch town of Assendelft and nestles in a location that has undergone a dramatic transformation. Nauerna Park occupies a former landfill site, and, reflecting the theme of renewability, highly sustainable landscaping elements were chosen. Not only the Rough&Ready furniture but also the bridge fencing has been constructed from All Black beams. The decking is constructed from CorTen steel and uses specially designed Cordeck®. The overall effect is an engaging contrast between the warm CorTen and the black balusters, with the combination of materials affording the bridge a sturdy, robust appearance within the landscape. The Crossline CorTen Bridge lends itself well to both green and urban environments. The flat design gives the bridge a floating appearance, and the distinct CorTen frames with integrated hardwood railing can be delivered with various inserts, allowing the character of the bridge to be adapted to its surroundings. Whereas the horizontal alignment exudes functionality, the criss-crossed stainless steel balusters add a certain playfulness and possess a rugged natural quality. The bridge is delivered almost entirely prefabricated, which means installation only takes a day. True Composite Bridge (new) Bold Bridge Solo All Wood Bridge (new) This bridge is constructed with FSC® hardwood slats with characteristic 7x7cm Solid dimensions. Streetdeck®40 is an ecological and functional alternative to hardwood. Available in two colours to blend with different road surfaces, the deck is more slip resistant and durable than hardwood and has a sleek, contemporary look. The Streetdeck® composite wood consists of 75% shredded waste wood and 25% synthetic material. It is splinter-proof, making it an ideal surface for walking barefoot on jetties. Floating Jetties are available in straight and curved designs. The jetties are fitted with Solideck®70 FSC® hardwood slats, making them the perfect match for Solid Curve Benches. These floating modules are made of composite and comprise a foam core with a metal frame fitted on top. Interconnected with a hinge system, the jetties are invisibly kept in place with poles and are connected to the shore.
