Good Morning all.
Can someone, please, help me?
I'm looking for some draws, plans or similar for a covered bridge as a reference for a scratchbuild one. 
Should be like the "Madison's ones".... :) :) :)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pollux,
Here's a link for a downloadable pdf document that is a reference for covered Bridge.
A little bit long to read (368 pages), but a lot of pictures, and draw.
Very interesting.

The other good source is the HABS/HAER website:  http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/


They key decision is which kind of truss to use, Howe, Howe Arch, Town Lattice (my favorite), etc.
