This video was both eye-opening and inspiring. I now have some great ideas as I tackle my up-coming dock project. Thanks for the lesson. On the other hand, your kids were literally so cute, and literally they had a lot of fun, and literally your son was a good fisherman. But literally they were a distraction. I literally found myself trying to literally fast-forward each time that you digressed. Finally, after the 8th time, I literally stopped counting the times that you said “literally”, during the presentation.

This video gives me a good idea for building a long walkway towards the end of my pier to finish the third phase. It's quick and dirty and I can break it down later and build a floating pier next to it. It's a major rebuilding of the original that I did in 1985-6 when I scrounged lumber out of the creek and nearby river. Now, it's the blue barrel method... It's either do a floating walkway or build a crane to bring out, set and wash down the next sets of pilings, as I'm a cheapskate and don't want to get a marine construction crew involved when I can do it all over again and cuss, growl and grunt pushing up pilings into dark murky holes in the bottom of the creek, just like when I was younger. Instead of running a matrix of old decking boards into places where I can use them as footing for using the post hole digger to dig a pilot hole for the pilings, I could be able to move the walkway into position and let the tide drop to the mud level and have a very stable platform for moving mud. Also, it's another position that can be used for placing the wash pump, instead of up on the finished dock Excellent video. I hope you're having a great time with it. Seems like everyone that uses jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks are building blue barrel floaters... Thanks again for the excellent information on how y'all did it.

Great video, thanks! I see where the four 2x6x12 pieces were used, but where was the fifth one used? Also, would it be better to use 2x10 or 2x12's instead of 2x6 to hold the barrels since it would provide a bit more coverage over the barrels? Would also be helpful if the dimensions of the various cuts and compartments were listed. I think I heard you say 20" to hold the barrels, but not sure about the other dimensions. Thanks again!

@kyletulpheathtulpracing5030 11 месяцев назад
they used the four 2x6x12 for the length, and then cut the 5th one in half and used that as two 6 foot boards on each end making the final dimensions 12' x 6' for the main dock. must have made more cuts when he ran to the store for additional supplies. Also cutting the 1x6x12' boards in half for the top planks.

Well, each city has its own codes so I’d check with them. If it’s not a fixed structure, it’s actually more like a boat than it is a dock. Slap a trolling motor on it and call it a “dock boat” - that was a little light hearted humor but check the fine print on your city ordinances

@@watchyourlip3209 yeah if its something smaller than what you had it will be more shakey from what I understand. Like a 6×6 would be more prone to tipping when you stand on the edge unless you have alot of weight in the center. Younger people wouldn't have an issue with this but older people would be alot more likely to fall or something. You could also run a small lag bolt into the support poles from the brackets that hold them in place to keep it from swaying.

Great pier! But in order not to walk through the mud at the bottom of the lake, it needs to be cleaned. Dirt can be pumped out with the help of a dirty water motor pump and a Bagermaster suction nozzle. And if there is sand at the bottom of the reservoir, then you can make a beach

A word of caution about lumber. It's marine grade stuff you want to use if it's to be a very long lasting item. That means that the larger dimensions of lumber can be obtained from a speciality yard like Decks and Docks. It's stuff not generally found in the big box stores... I found out that they (Decks and Docks) do not sell marine grade lumber in 2x4 & 2x6 or 5/4. It's ground contact that is used mostly for decking (where your feet go) and is a very toxic splinter if it were the heavier marine grade. Marine grade is rated by the weight of the chemicals forced into the wood. Ask your lumber yard salesperson who is knowledgeable and can guide you based on your needs. If the lumber is to be immersed in water, overrun frequently with brackish, salty or muddy water and/ or stays wet, go marine grade. Deck surfaces are usually fine with ground contact grade. Just don't think that constant contact with the ground means it won't rot. It will. It's the same reason you don't use ground contact grade for pilings in a marine environment. They certainly would rot and not last. The where the mud contacts with surface of the wood in the presence of oxygen, and usually seen to rot in that section of the wood will be only about one to two feet of the section. It's the benthic layer where the worms and microbes do their job. Pilings that are wrapped with a few layers of fiberglass or epoxy resin have been tried with various results. There are tons of products that can be used to treat the decking as you asked. Finding one that doesn't create a slip hazard would be a priority for me if it's a swimming dock, especially with kids or older, less pliable folks.

@@mikegrant8490 Thank you! I was going to suggest the marine grade limber to use on mine since it is a lake adjacent to the bay, which turns brackish during tides. I'll be using 2 x 8's since I want to be able to climb in and out of my kayak on to this. I actually googled how to build dock steps and this came up. more research to come. our water level can rise and fall as much as 4' in a day.
