I'll have a drain pipe and will build the dock assuming that the top of the pipe will be full pool. I was thinking of building x inches from that level.
If I used 2x10 beams attached to the 6x6 posts and then had 2x10 joists on top of that and decking on top of that it would already be about 20 inches from the water level. Add 6" of spacing between the beams and water and now the dock surface is about 26" off of the water's surface (at full pool). I was trying to figure out if that was a good height.
