Bullshit.
These are bridges built for hikers that have no business exiting a Costco parking lot.
Why so angry bro?
You not get sarcasm?

Uh oh, thread might go down the NSMB derail.
I am a trail builder. So familiar with building bridges. I was curious if there was truth to "dogs hurting themselves on bridges". Just wanted validation that this was a true concern and not some fictional fact.
A commentator stated, that when dogs, change their minds and turn around, on a bridge it is a sketchy move. I agree with that.
Personally, slat bridge spacing for me has a lot to do with how far my harvest tree is from the bridge zone. If it is close, my slats are close, if it is far… Well I get lazy and my spacing grows.
I guess I have learnt, that people prefer tight spacing, gunk is an issue, and no one has an anecdotal story of a dog breaking his leg - yet.
I do recognize that when my dog goes over bridges, he tends to become hyper aware of what his feet are doing and either walks like a ballerina, jumps the bridge, or runs beside it.

hehehe, yes true. Hikers, along with bikers, maintenance vehicles, dogs, all travelling in either direction, occasionally at the same time. That monstrosity is on a highly used trail that is 12' in width for a few kilometres, so I think it works.
I only shared the photos to show that I apply my preferred deck spacing on the various styles of bridge construction.
..but as with anything, to each his own.

Builder for hire.
It went right over my head I guess…haha
i fell on a bridge and had my elbow slip between the rungs . almost broke my arm and shoulder had my son not stopped me from rolling off the bridge with my arm still caught between the rungs . , if a elbow with a pad on it can slip thru a rung , i can easily see a dog falling thru and breaking or injuring a leg or paw .
on the bridge projects i have been on we leave roughly 3/4" between the rungs , this is with split rungs on logs not saw cut boards .
