Fiberglass decking is more durable than treated lumber and is maintenance free. See how we used it for a bridge deck at a national park. a national park.
Brecksville, OH
The treated lumber deck on a large box truss bridge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park needed to be replaced. It had been installed fewer than 10 years ago. Axcess worked with the National Park Service to design a maintenance-free fiberglass deck that will last for 50 years or more. Because many fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) colors are available, the Park Service was able to select a color that coordinates with the existing weathered steel trusses.
DECK SIZE: 213 ft by 8 ft
DECK AREA: 1,752 square feet

This project involved repurposing a railroad bridge with FRP decking and custom railing at the end of the bike and hike trail system in the town of Delphi, Indiana.
A network of urban trails expands across a local creek thanks to special co-fabricated weathering steel beams and aluminum railings.
See how a local park district in Ohio used a truss bridge and solid surface fiberglass decking to replace a deteriorated wooden bridge.
There are few things more rewarding than how one seemingly simple idea can change everything.
