My water level in the pond can and will change in the range of three feet between full pool and emergency overflow, not to mention what might happen below full pool. Maybe as much as 5 or 6 feet between extreme low and high waters. I can not wrap my head around how dock legs can reliably accommodate the large level fluctuations. It seems the "slip joint" would likely bind and I would find the dock submerged after a heavy rain, OR bound up in the air after the water dropped.
Can I design a "T" shape dock, let's say, a 4 by 10 foot gangway with a 6 by 8 foot "T" at the end that is only anchored to the shore(anchored with concrete foundation and hinged)?
I ask this because the Menards in my area is having a buy one PlayStar Dock Float (3' x 4')for $99, get one free and I am back onto the dock thing or at least considering buying now to save later as more dock money is made.
