Modular Trail Structures Helps Bring Your Vision to Life

Design at Modular Trail Structures

System Components

Footings:

Footings are the foundation of a durable, sustainable and beautiful boardwalk.

We offer a range of footing options based on environmental conditions, project requirements, and soil-bearing capacity:

  • Bearing Plates - Ideal for when permanent footings aren’t required

  • Saddle Brackets - Provide a secure connection to concrete, timber, or helical pile foundations

Frames:

Our frames are built from structural steel, available in:

  • Galvanized

  • Epoxy-coated

  • Powder-coated finishes

All frames come with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring long-term performance in any environment.

Decking:

We prioritize functionality, durability, and aesthetics.
Decking options include:

  • Pressure-treated lumber

  • Hardwoods

  • Plastic lumber

  • Composite materials

Each option is selected to complement and enhance the surrounding natural landscape.

Railing and Toe Kicks:

ADA compliance is a key consideration in boardwalk design.

We work to ensure all additional components — such a s railings and toe kicks — are tailored to meet specific project needs and regulatory requirements.
