I want to place a covered bridge in my garden railroad. I need some ideas as to make just cement piers or try to make some sort of stone piers for the type of bridge.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe a few issues back in Garden Railways there was an article about building bridge abutments. Is this what you're looking for? Or are you looking for the piers which would support the bridge in the center.

If you're referring to abutments, we have an online article here:

Stone abutments would look the best. A center pier is not needed in most case's since the bridge is short. But if you made your own and it is longer then the standard kit or pre-built then stone would look best for a center pier.

Thankyou for all your ideas on the bridge abutments. Able to use some old cap stone stood on end giving it an old look. Thanks again for all the ideas.
