Golden Gate Bridge

PRE-CUT KIT - FOLD, GLUE! This model comes unassembled, flat-packed in a large envelope.

What's inside? 4 sturdy A4 size paper sheets with parts pre-cut and pre-creased. You will need to remove parts from the sheets, fold and glue them in order to assemble the model according to the set-up instructions which come with the kit.

Things that are not included, but you'll need in order to assemble the model: time & patience, a hard surface to work on, white glue (PVA). Some other things might be helpful: a pointed stylus, tweezers, scissors, a hobby knife, a ruler, a cutting mat. See what tools we recommend.

This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

The Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic symbol of San Francisco, is spanning the Golden Gate Strait, the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Completed in 1937 this suspension bridge is renowned for its striking International Orange color, a hue selected for visibility in San Francisco's famous fog.

Stretching 1.7 miles (2.7 km) in length and with a main span of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters), the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world at the time of its completion. It's supported by two towers that rise 746 feet (227 meters) above the water, making them taller than the Washington Monument.

The bridge's design, by engineer Joseph Strauss, revolutionized suspension bridge engineering, introducing many new safety features and construction techniques. Despite the challenging conditions, including strong currents and winds, the bridge was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

Today, the Golden Gate Bridge not only serves as a vital transportation link, carrying millions of commuters and tourists each year, but also as a beloved landmark, celebrated for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It's a popular spot for photographers and visitors, offering breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, the bay, and the Pacific Ocean.
