The part the chairs are sitting on is floating. Pond is at full pool now and it sits level with the fixed portion. The section just beyond the new wood is the attaching portion that connects the main fixed dock to the floating dock and as the pond level drops will take on a downward slope. The new wood is the very end of 80' of fixed dock that is 8' wide. The floating portion is 8x12 if I recall correctly. The attachment is 8' long giving me 96' of length out into the pond from the bank.
The floating part I bought used off Craigs list. The rest I and my grandsons built. The 80' main section is built of steel and was put out in the water in 40' sections on top of 12' hedge (osage orange) posts then the wood 2x6 decking was installed.
Would have been a lot easier had I done it before the pond was 2/3 full. But we got it done. We really enjoy it.
