Equestrian Bridges by Polydeck
Durability and Longevity
When it comes to equestrian bridleways and facilities, every detail matters. This is to ensure accessibility and most importantly safety for both the horse and its’ rider. A well-designed equestrian bridge from Polydeck isn’t just a functional necessity; it is an integral part of ensuring safe passage for equine users. The POLYbridge can be designed to meet the specific needs of equestrian users and can offer numerous benefits:
Safety First
Higher GRP railings to ensure the horse cannot fall, jump or get their head stuck as easily. All POLYbridges have a castellated finish on the POLYplanks to guarantee a with a PTV rating in excess of 90 including a low slip potential even when wet.
Weight Bearing
The substructure is reinforced to take the weight of the horses and riders. Made from GRP, the POLYbridge is remarkably strong and capable of supporting heavy loads without compromising the lightweight design.
Aesthetics
The unique wood grain effect finish allows the bridge to blend into the natural environment unlike other GRP bridges that may look more industrial. This is especially important when it comes to an equestrian bridge as it alleviates equine anxiety that may be heightened by an unusual structure. Therefore, decreasing the risk of a horse being startled by the bridge and potentially hurting itself or its rider.
Longevity
In contrast to a traditional timber bridge that last 12-15 years, the POLYbridge does not rot and has a design life of more than 75 years. The GRP is thermoset so will not twist or warp in the different temperatures throughout the seasons unlike recycled plastic structures. Furthermore, our products are highly durable, and the slip resistant castellation is embedded into the GRP so will last as long as the POLYplanks themselves.
Sustainability
Our POLYplanks, posts, and rails all have a recycled plastic bottle structural foam core, which means our products actively save plastic bottles from landfill.
Peace of mind
All of these bespoke benefits of the Polydeck equestrian bridge will give peace of mind that for years to come equine users will be safe to enjoy their ride.
