Build
a Floating Dock: Are you ready to begin
?
One of the most often asked
questions is "exactly where do you start, if you want to build a
floating dock?" We
all know that having a well built
is imperative for the safety of your new and used boats. Damage to the
boats can happen if the docks are not adequately designed for both the
weight and length of the boat. Whether stationary or floating docks,
they need to be designed to have the required freeboard for the boat and
of course the proper strength for any side impacts.
Build
a Floating Dock
: The best place to start
Boat
dock plans are really the best place to start. It only makes sense to
plan your project out with full consideration to using the highest
quality materials that will last you for years. Emphasis needs to be on
things like installing the
proper floating dock hardware and hinges. Built from ¼” X5” plate
– all your dock hardware should be galvanized so that it is rust
resistant. Ensure that your hinges
use a 5/8” tab and a 1”X4” connecting bolt with quick release pin.
The
weak point of many docks that have fallen apart was simply due to either
poor quality or poor positioning of the dock hardware or both. When you
build your dock there is no place for inexperience or guesswork. Why
guess at what proper boat dock materials you should be using when you
can economically gain all the professional advise with ease.
