in the redwood forest in northern california the spiders just wait for a gentle breeze and glide from one tree spinning one guide line to another tree and can make the web from that, it is very beautiful to watch and takes about 3 hours and then it's ready for catching dinner

Some spiders go out on the end of a branch and spin a line across the gap -- wind in the proper direction helps. If they get a hit, they can climb across spinning a stronger line as they go.
Depending on the width of the gap, I imagine that some tree spiders jump (Nephila spiders can do that).

Most of the spiders let their single web float in the air and if it holds unto something they anchor the web from where they are and go across it. While others, attached the web in their present location and climb to another location and they will have one single strand of web connected from one place to another, and others jumps from one place to another, but as I have said before most do it by letting their web float in the air.
