I built my floating pier on dry bank 5 yrs ago to where when the water came up it would float. I used 55 gal metal drums and added some water inside the drums to float the pier a little lower in the water. This year I have had to change out 3 of the drums due to rust holes. I changed them out to white plastic drums. It's not hard to change them using the front end loader on the tractor and lifting up the side of the pier and slipping one out and replacing it. I did not know that they might become brittle. Not good! So I guess we will see how it all turns out. A 12 by 16 floating dock/pier has been an asset for building brush piles/rock piles etc. Was also very useful when treating pond with alum/lime. Just add a good trolling motor.
