This is the anchor portion of the dock, along with the gangplank sitting on top of it.


Pond side of the anchored part, and the sliding part of the gangplank.


Hinge portion of the gangplank. That's a 3/4" dia bolt that is the hinge.


I pre-drilled all the holes in the deck boards using a home made template. First I drilled a pilot hole partway thru the board wiht the template, then used another drill to finish the pilot hole and the countersink for the screw head.
