Num1Pirate, I built collars for each of the barrels(kinda like what the pilgrims were locked up in the center of town in)and built the collars into the framework. I attached the barrels to the collars with .030 mil x 1/2 inch stainless banding, and when I pulled it out over this winter,I laid down 2 inch PVC piping for the barrels to slide up onto shore. I used the PVC to put the dock back in just last week, and it only took two men to slide a 16'x 8' very heavy section of dock back into the pond.
