So after MUCH review here, i bought lumber, and building supplies from dockbuilders.com I was hesitant to start without any plans, so I spent Many hours in the program SketchUp and was able to design my dock. I have taken a fair amount of info from the pictures that N8ly has posted. He also answered a lot of questions for me.

To start, here are the basic sketchUp pictures. I have the raw sketchUp files if ya'll want them.

Deck is 16 foot by 16 foot, and has 2x10x16 boards back to back as well as one below to make my side board 19 inches tall.










Here are a few construction pictures









Note how the 2x4 run at an angle to support the barrels in a on the flat edge of the board.
