I have 4 walking bridges in various places across a stream, each made using 2 telephone poles skinned with 2'-long pressure-treated deck boards painted with marine urethane containing sand. These were originally skinned in recycled 2x4s, but they rotted. Crossing when they were iced up was not good without the sand paint. Once upon a time, we just used an simple telephone pole for a bridge, but a friend ended up in the water.
