Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Dock and Overflow questions.

This is actually the one I came across here on the forum, looks good. I've just got a 12" pipe though on mine and it's already in place so would have to somehow build around it and on this wall that's almost 45 degrees. The wood that goes in the slots have to have the edges cut to a 45 degree point on one end and the other to receive the next from what I'm reading? Guessing it has to hold water pretty good for this to be a method used huh. I'd just hate to make it a different way, like a solid concrete box with just a notch out for the water, instead of this way and then have a bad rain that goes over the walls everywhere instead of out the culvert.

I'm still trying to think of how to do the legs on the dock, concrete with rebar crisscrossed to put into concrete? And the reason I'm still thinking concrete is to get the wood above the organic matter that might start to pile up or something. But I don't know, never done this. I was sure I was going to do the typical post brackets for like a porch till I thought of how long it'd last in water.
