Nothing like a salesman that actually knows the product....Thanks for the video.

[mikemeyer]

Lol, funny video but honestly one of the best instructive one I've seen. I can't believe you don't have more views.

[AnthonyBrown-xdlw]

Thank you for making this video. Very helpful and informative.

[michaelhoulihan]

Would this be strong enough to last through winters on a pond that freezes over? Or do you absolutely need to remove/reinstall the dock each year? Great video

[bigtamd]

What do you call those corner brackets for the pipes

[tamaralee]

Very instructive and clear!.can you install the by water jetting (down through the pipe) as opposed to hammering?

[ryant]

Love this! Have the beook "Building your Own Dock", to which this video related. In the book it states when joining sections using the J-bracket to then drill through both headers and insert a 4" bolt. Is this necessary, as I don't see this in the video? I have a small 1/2 acre springfed pond that sometimes gets maybe 2" of ice in the winter, and was wondering (if its really necessary?) to remove it each season, then these extra bolts would make it more difficult to disassemble.

Love the vid do you sell the plans. I am thinking of building something just like this. Wanted to see how much of each item I would need. I am in Utah.

Would these legs work in very soft and deep mud?

[gregparis]

I can’t find the driving cap/super driving cap on the website. Are those available?

And if you drive the pipes in 2’, how easy is it to pull them out for winter storage? My pond bottom is clay.

[jabman]

Can the pipe be mounted on the inside of the frame and then cut so the decking can be placed over it? I’m looking to hide the support system as much as possible.

[SOLDbyYOU]

This system looks great… but is there a better protective coating for brackish or salty water?

[craigmonteforte]

Pretty nice system I like the fact that it’s mostly manageable by one or two guys In small sections I’ve been looking at property that does have a dock installed but I would like to make modifications to accommodate my vessels and lifestyle at this time I don’t have much in any heavy machinery but do have plans for some in the future most likely a mini excavator

[mikedacey]

Seth can this same type dock/materials be built for a saltwater dock?

[MrMoosefire]

How far into the soil should these poles be driven? Is this setup strong enough to hold a pontoon in a no-wake area of a lake?

[CalsKid]

Looks like treated lumber for the frame. What did you use for the top decking?

[ianpond]

So the only thing stopping the deck from dropping are the hex wrench bolts on the pipe bracket? Are they as strong as standard bolts through a wooden post?

[cheesehead]

How deep did you drive the posts? Did you consider driving a pvc pipe to put the metal posts into first?

[Cotronixco]

The corner socket part number is not 4O5O. It's 4050. That's pronounced four zero five zero, not four oh five oh.

[chipsammich]

Do you have any videos on installing these in deeper water say 8-12ft Deepwater??
