Greenspace Designs have over twenty years’ experience in the construction of timber boardwalks in a variety of widths in many different habitats. Our most common product is a 1.2m wide boardwalk with suitable passing places. The design can incorporate straight and curved walkway sections as well as pond dipping platforms and handrails where required.
Our boardwalks are individually designed to “flow” across the landscape and will blend into the surroundings. The substructure of our boardwalk design allows for the unimpeded flow of surface water, hence our design has previously been approved by the Environment Agency for use on flood plains. Our raised wetland boardwalks provide visitor access across and through otherwise inaccessible environments.
Greenspace’s standard boardwalks have a one or two inch high toe board or kick rail to provide a wheel stop for prams and wheelchairs.
This example from Carlisle, incorporates a circular pond dipping platform in the centre of the walkway. Customised non-slip rubber crumb treads have been added to the walkway in the shapes of local wildlife footprints.
