A boardwalk system comprising:
- a plurality of treads, each tread including a plurality of grooves extending entirely or substantially entirely thereacross in a transverse direction, wherein each tread is made of concrete;
- and
- a plurality of bases, each base being supported on a ground surface and positioned below each tread at or adjacent to a corner of the associated tread.
A method for assembling a boardwalk system comprising:
- accessing a plurality of treads, each tread including a plurality of grooves extending entirely or substantially entirely thereacross in a transverse direction, wherein each tread is made of concrete;
- positioning a plurality of bases on a ground surface;
- and
- positioned each tread on a base positioned below each tread at or adjacent to a corner of the associated tread.
A boardwalk system comprising:
- a plurality of treads, each tread including a plurality of grooves extending entirely or substantially entirely thereacross in a transverse direction, wherein each tread is made of concrete;
- and
- a plurality of bases, each base being supported on a ground surface and positioned below each tread to support at least one tread thereon.
A tread that is made of concrete and includes plurality of grooves extending entirely or substantially entirely thereacross in a transverse direction, wherein each groove is straight and continuous, and extends at least about 5% and less than about 25% of a thickness of the tread, wherein the tread is a unitary, seamless single piece of concrete, and wherein the grooves are shaped and configured such that the tread presents an appearance of a plurality of planks.
