Please help with my dock.
I was asked to build a dock on lake front property. Does the dock have
to float or can I build it like I would a deck? Please help. The dock would run 20 out into the water and would be about 2 feet deep at it's deepest point. -- Chris F Long Island, USA.

The answer is yes, no, maybe, and it depends. If the water level fluctuates, you would want to make it to float. If the water level is static, a solid dock would work, but then, you have those occasional floods and acts of God that might raise the water level, and float the thing loose and damage it. As stated, check codes first! Then I would ask and look around to see how others did it. They probably did it from the trial and error and mistakes of others. STeve |

Here's some advice: when you get it finished, go for a 21 foot walk, and then dive head-first...if you survive, maybe you can move under it, too... |
