I have one more curved metal bridge but couldn't find its photo. Now it's rather cold and we still have no snow, that's why I covered the whole GRR with a layer of non-woven fabric just to protect plants there. Later I'll try to take a photo. I like to use sushi sticks, I've made some other structur...

For loading gauge I usually make things to clear vehicles 7'6" wide - so I usually go with 12' between bridge abutments, which is 192mm.  Height is more complicated for me as I will eventually need to clear standard gauge vehicles on transporter wagons, so I need to go 13'6" or 14' - 216-...
