Recommended attachment locations are on the overhang, as close as possible to the outside beam, or behind the outside beam. Behind the outside beam is preferred. Hanging lines on the outside of the beams is not aesthetically pleasing and may be subject to vandalism. Attachments to water crossing structures should be placed on the downstream side where exposure to high water is less likely.

Do not attach to any bridge rail or rail hardware, including anchor bolts. This will eliminate the need to get the owner of the attachment involved when bridge rail repair is performed.

Do not hang lines from the bottom of beams. This decreases freeboard and increases the likelihood of damage.
