Bill,
I think there is a company advertised on this site under products or something.
I have a Menards near me that sells floating sections in season. I think they are expensive so I'm going to build one using billets of bluefoam used by many for floating docks.(I can order them here in Indiana that are 8 feet long)with a frame of lumber over it. All it takes is 2 by sixes for the frame and decking size 1 by 6's's on top. Put together by predrilling and deck screws. Alternate the spaceing of the frame to slide one section into the other before bolting.
I already have a 70 foot permanent pier I put in in my warmwater pond put in on the ice by cutting holes and driving galvanized posts from Menards into the bottom which are attached to the pier by sleeves which Menards also sells. We then propped up the pier as high as we wanted on the ice before tightening the sleeves.
But for my trout pond which is only 1/10th acre, I want something I can remove when it is time to harvest by hook and line in the fall so I am going with the blue foam.
