Hello.

I'm tired of the dock that advance in the water.

I have to undo this and remove the dock from the water every fall.

This year I will dig an entrance from the pond in the land, about 16x20feet, the sides will be connected by large logs, all of this will stay in place forever.

A friend have a dock like that for several years and it stays that way , he have nothing to do.

I would like to know if there are examples here.

I put a small design.

Dirt work plus carpentry with large logs sounds like a lot of effort!

Do you have to take down your current dock every year due to ice heaving?

What are the uses of your existing dock? (For example, loading people into a canoe, or a place to hang lights so you can observe fry at night?)

Would it be possible to just raise the platform level of your existing dock? If you need some deck space right at the water level, I am pretty sure you could build a small extension that would be more easily removed, or make a small floating dock extension that you could just pull on the shore for winter.

Good luck on your project.

Hello.

This kind of dock is stable and never move.

He will be there for many tears.

I have the choice I can put 6¨x6¨ Spruce.

But I have a lot of big tree logs, Cedar and Maple.

I wouldn't expect the Maple logs to last long when submerged in water. (But I am not an expert.)

I think the Cedar would be better if you are going to use your own logs.

Does anyone in your area have a dock made of maple?

Hello.

Excuse me, it is true that on design it is difficult to see the arrangement of the 6"x6".

They will not touch the water, they will be about 1 foot to 2 feet above the water.
