I will probably start on a blue barrel dock when the weather cools down. But, after seeing that one, I won't be taking and showing any pictures.
Thanks to you and RAH for the kudos. As to blue barrels, there's nothing wrong with using those. Closed-head plastic drums/barrels can make excellent float drums. In fact, I might have used them myself if we didn't have beavers in the river nearby. I was a bit paranoid that a beaver or muskrat might want to sample a barrel or two to see if they were edible, and if so, a foam-filled rectangular float drum would at least stay afloat. However, I haven't yet seen any critters line up at the lunch counter under the dock, so my fears might be exaggerated. When I pull out the dock in late fall, I'll check for tooth marks.
