Floating Docks??


muskielaw

Question

I am in the process of buying a lake home. Downside to the home is it is in the back of a bay with marsh shoreline. I will need about 120-150ft dock to get out past the marsh. (previous owner sold his dock to neighbor so I know he had at least 150ft). Considering it will run 10-20K to buy a new dock that length (and difficult to find a used dock that length) I am thinking about building a floating dock with 55 gallon barrels. I would plan on leaving the dock in the water all winter. Anyone who has a floating dock what are the pros cons of building with 55 gallon barrels? Any tips or tricks with building one? Do you leave the dock in during the winter? Does anyone know if DNR allows docks to be made with green treated wood? Lastly, if anyone has any plans for building such a dock that they would be willing to share that would be greatly appreciated?

Here are some pic's of my buddies muck bay 80 foot floating dock we pulled out last weekend. Takes about 15min's to hook up the truck and pull out with the wheels sets and hitch we made up.
