Over the past few years, we have installed Trex decking and PEM matting on five of the bridges on the golf course. However, as far as size and quantity of material used, none of these compare to the current project we are undertaking on the bridge connecting the Clubhouse to the golf course.
For starters, at 370', this bridge is much longer than the others. Additionally, on the wetlands crossing bridges, we went just six pieces wide of Trex. For the Clubhouse bridge, we are going 16 pieces wide. The total amount of Trex required is 6000' (well over one mile) of 1" X 6".
It will take 9,000 screws to secure the decking, so suffice it to say that knee pads are highly recommended for this task. If there is a silver lining to this big bridge (unlike some of the others on the course), it's a straight run, with no curves to negotiate. As we've done on the other bridges, we'll wait until the weather warms up a bit to install the PEM matting down the center.
