Oh and the pier is 108 feet long now and consists of a treated lumber pier and this aluminum one with a composite material top. Both were given to me for free so I can't complain, although they do look a little funky bolted together considering they are made of different materials. Only 30 feet short of the opposite shore, and I plan on adding that 30 feet after a trip to Menards. Need some 2 X 6 ten footers and some 1 by 6 plank boards and I will be ready to go!
In case one didn't catch the thread regarding blocking nets, I will be hanging a blocking net off the side of this pier to divide the pond into two sections. The pier will facilitate cleaning of the net periodically of alage with a push broom on an extendable handle, and of course be fun to fish off when harvest time comes! One side will have male only bluegill and female only perch, and the other side will be for feed trained smallmouth bass.
Another pic facing the other side of the pond:
Board where the two sections connect is not a connector. It's left over from reinforcement for a swimming ladder. It will come off. All I need is for someone to trip over it.
