This beautiful Cedar Log Bridge is crafted from real cedar wood which is naturally resistant to decay and insects making it perfect for you backyard oasis. We recommend a quality penetrating oil finish in order to preserve its natural charm and color. With time you may notice cracking in the logs called checking. This ingrained process occurs when the logs dry out. This is perfectly natural and will not compromise the stability of your bridge, but will add a rustic old world charm. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
