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.

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.

Good advice. "learn from the mistakes of others, you don't have time to
make them all yourself."

If you work REALLY fast, you can cover most of them.
