I found that if I used the foam core pipe, it floats......

So, I had to alternate regular with foam core to make sure it stayed on the bottom.

Got started on the dock this weekend. It will be two 12'x12' sections connected together, with a 4'X12' gangway on each end. I got one of the 12'x12' sections finished this weekend.


I missed a few pics on this first build. I'll do better on the second build

6 floats per 12x12, and one on each gangway.

Five-3'x4'x16" and one-4'x4'x16" where gangway attaches
Each gangway float is 2'x4'X20", having different height on gangway float worries me some, but that is what they suggested. I'll know this weekend.

We have been wanting to do a floating dock on our .7 acre pond. I'll have to stop by sometime and take a look at it.

Stop by anytime Chris. Maybe with some fish food grin!

Second one is coming along much faster than the first. I'll be getting a stand up auto feed screw gun before doing the other 3 decks!


Squared up and two of the boards to bolt the floats too. Still have to put metal angle support on each runner. I'll try and finish that tonight.

Didn't get that far after work yesterday. I got the angle supports and floats on one end. Ordered a screw gun, and hope it gets here by Friday!

Hey man, it doesn't get any better than that!! Nice job on the dock! Ours will probably be patterned after yours. I like that U shaped design.

Thanks. It has really turned out to be pretty functional for us. With kids and several people on the deck it is nice to have two gangways. Plus even though I only have it loosely tied to the bank, it hasn't moved a bit just setting on the ground.

Looks great Brian. I would not have thought of the double gangway but I like it!

I finally bought a scale(digital postal scale) and weighed a few fish last night. All CNBG were stocked in February of this year.

7.75" 8.2oz RW 134%


7.75" 7.2oz RW 118%



And a 6" 3.5oz RW 135%, forgot to take a pic.....

Looks like everything is going to plan. I thought it was, but nice to have some numbers to verify.

****Not sure which pics were here prior to the PhotoHostage.....****

CNBG feeding time. 3/4# of food(9 seconds) gone almost before feeder stops spinning. I feed 5 time in morning and 4 in afternoon, and pretty much the same every spin.
