Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Float recommendation

I used the Menards floats and my 12'x12'dock has not had any problems yet (left in the water for over 5 years). I did cover the bottom of the dock with them, so it is over-built. I also built wooden rails to protect the floats down to water level. I have no experience with anything else. I would have given barrels a shot if I knew where to get them cheap.
