Can composite decking be used for a foot bridge?

Monday, April 26, 2010 by Chris Fox
Composite decking such as Latitudes Intrepid™ composite decking (5/4X6) is intended for use on residential applications like decks, porches and residential docks. If the bridge you are are building is Foot Bridgejust a walk way with no motorized traffic, Latitudes® wood plastic composite decking is a great choice. Make sure all the structural elements of the foot bridge are designed properly to support the decking with 12-inch or 16-inch on-center joist spacing as specified in the Latitudes installation instructions.

For heavy or commercial traffic, consider using Latitudes Marine composite decking as it is thicker and is designed for wider joist spans up to 24 inches on center. Latitudes Marine decking is perfect for boardwalk decking and marina dock planks. Latitudes Marine composite decking also comes with a 10-year commercial warranty.
