Best floating dock building video I’ve come across. Thanks!

[gborowme]

I want to build one in Sierra Leone, I will be the one directing the builders .

[fouadsaad]

Very understandable process to flow, amazing thanks a lot

[iwantosavemoney]

Very impressive well constructed can’t imagine what that hardware cost but I bet it will last longer than the deck

[tazb]

Should show docking hardware to tie up boats and floats, otherwise fantastic 👍 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

I'm sure joist hangers or similar inside corner hangers would do the same and far less cost. I would keep outside corners using bolts and heavy brackets though

Terrific video. Right to the point. Thanks.

[Pasunreve]

Thank you for the video!
Wondering if this deck would be structurally sufficient for building a floating house on it?

[CynicalDad]

This hardware kit is pretty impressive especially those corner brackets through and through outside and inside but I would have added corner braces in each corner let into the framing and also I would have only put four floats so that it floats down in the water a little bit closer to the surface but otherwise really cool build

Nice video. No mention how to get it in the water??

[lorenzoquintero]

Hi very good video and informative. Will be also interesting to give the budget or cost to make it on materials, that will be complete, with out labor vost involved of course.

[timagnello]

Do you have any idea how these types of floats fair in the lake in the freezing winter ?

[nuclearpenguin]

How long would a dock like this last permanently installed in a lake? Would rough wake splashes eventually damage the pressure treated wooden frame? If so, is there anything you would recommend to prolong the life of such a dock?
Great video by the way, clear and to the point. Thanks!

Looks great, but needs cleats to tie your boat.

[elilesser-goldsmith]

Great video, well done and thank you. Could you give a rough estimate on cost for the materials?

[charlespemberton]

Hi where can I buy the screws and corner brackets

[coryh]

Is 2x6 construction ok? I have to muscle the sections out ofnthe water every year. I was thinking 2 ten by ten sections. Blue skin all joists. Itll last longer.

[mikequinn]

what float do you use for 16" on center i want to use 36"x48"x16"high but most 4' don't have 16" on center, most have only 3 screw down points

[TheChupacabra]

How do you recommend anchoring this to land or to pilings? Is there recommended hardware for that or additional framing?

[cirocko]

Yeah, So how much did that bad boy cost?, my guess close to 10K
