Should I have Plastic or Timber?
Recycled Plastic Bison bridges are popular, due to a longer service life and being a product with a manufacturing process that uses plastic bottles and other used plastic goods. It's also worth noting there is no risk of chemical leaching from preservatives as they are not used with recycled plastic.
Bison Timber bridges offer a lower cost option and are prefered by some clients in providing a natural look.
Both options provide a non-slip deck board surface.
What are the delivery options?
Bison Bridge kits are delivered either to customers premises for unload by forklift or direct to site and mechanically unloaded.
