That was the plan if I went with a fixed pier. Have to wait and see how things look after the pond is done. Like I said I may go back to this since I really don't like the movement of a floating pier.

For a different approach, what about placing concrete pillers in the pond bottom and than placing the 6x6s on top of them. I would use a piece of rebar as a pin to keep the 6x6s from sliding off the piller? This way it would be possible to replace the 6x6s later (if needed) and you would use shorter 6x6s than without the pillers? Of course I would use the concrete forms to make these pillers.
