Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Dock is Underway, Anchor Advise Please

If the objection is the aesthetics of the pipe/slide arrangement above the level of the dock, why not use telescoping poles with one end attached to the underside of the dock and the other embedded in the pond bottom, i.e. little pipe inside bigger pipe? There would still be a bit of sway as the difference in pipe sizes would need to be big enough to allow the dock to follow the pond level, but should be a whole bunch better than nothing.
