Recycled Plastic & Hybrid Boardwalk Systems

Durable, Sustainable Boardwalks Built to Last

Looking for a long-life alternative to timber boardwalks—one that won't rot, warp, or demand constant upkeep?

Bison Bridges offers robust recycled plastic and hybrid boardwalk kits, designed to perform in high-moisture and sensitive environments for decades. Whether you're working on a countryside trail, a public access path, or a nature reserve, our systems offer low-maintenance, environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional timber.

Why Choose a Bison Boardwalk?

  • Long-lasting performance in wet or exposed locations

  • Zero rot, zero warping, and no regular treatments required

  • Made from 100% recycled plastic, and fully recyclable at end-of-life

  • Supports circular economy goals by reducing virgin material use

  • Designed for minimal ground disturbance with ground screw options

Build Types

We offer two core options:

1. Fully Recycled Plastic Boardwalk

Constructed entirely from 100% recycled plastic, including posts, joists, and deck boards. Ideal for maximum durability and long-term environmental value.
Guide cost: £175–£225 per square metre (based on 1.2m width and 1m post length)

2. Hybrid Boardwalk (Plastic Base + Timber Deck)

Combines a recycled plastic sub-structure with Douglas Fir decking, featuring integrated anti-slip strips.
Guide cost: £150–£200 per square metre


Note: Longer boardwalks benefit from economies of scale, and achieve a lower cost per metre.

Optional Features (Available on All Boardwalk Types)

  • Single or double handrails

  • Ramped access

  • Integrated viewing platforms

  • Steel support beams for longer spans

  • Galvanised steel ground screws – ideal where roots or sensitive ground require low-impact installation

We offer full detail drawings (available in pdf, jpg or .dwg files) to help with your project and provide step-by-step assembly guidance. If you'd like help with installation, we're happy to recommend experienced teams.

Team work, installing a boardwalk base structure

Recycled Plastic is perfect for creating boardwalk structures and provides many years of use without the need to consider for rotting posts in these high water level regions.

As a hybrid solution, you may wish to consider using recycled plastic for the boardwalk sub structure and redwood timber with anti-slip infill strips for the deck boards.
