We created this bridge using popsicle sticks. We wanted it to be sturdy but have a most trusses as possible. So we did the Barn Style because it made a sturdy bridge and a ton of trusses.  ]]> 2016-10-24 13:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1621493/zklvy5oli6nk/wish/132697438 Constraints #5  1621493 https://padlet.com/1621493/zklvy5oli6nk/wish/132697585
