Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the saying goes. The eyes of many Finns have been accustomed to the wilderness-inspired appearance of duckboards (Pitkospuut in Finnish) since childhood. Pitkospuu's beautiful piers have often been praised precisely because of the beautiful visual design familiar from forest and swamp trails and paths. A beautiful pier is also created thanks to the airy, light deck structure made possible by the strong structure of the planks. Seen from the side, the Pitkospuu pier almost seems to be floating in the air.
The beauty of the Pitkospuu pier is also thanks to the natural shape of the wood. The connection between man and wood has been proven in university studies to improve mood and promote health and reduce stress. The visual appearance of wood has a calming effect on the human nervous system. It's no wonder that we Finns, as an old forest nation, like e.g. of wooden houses.
The correct proportions also make the wooden jetty balanced and beautiful. The end part with just the certain width in relation to the pathway, as well as the proportionate elements of the frame structure. In construction-related design, the term 'golden ratio' is often used to refer to optimal visual and structural design. This has also been the goal for the Pitkospuu piers. From the customers' feedback and reactions when they see their own pier for the first time, we could say that we have succeeded in this.
Pitkospuu pier models can be used to make long piers according to the needs of the beach. Below is a picture of the Inari 24 m model in Somerniemi.
