DIY HOW TO BUILD A FLOATING DOCK BOAT IN 2 HOURS

your dock still looks good. crazy I watched this video when you published it I was in there today harvesting eel grass and hydrilla

cap the poles so no ones ever gets impaled

How hard would it be to get those posts out to remove the dock?

Great build, I'm definitely building this,Thanks!

We have had the barrels down by our pond for years waiting on my husband to have time to do this!!

That's awesome!

amazing little dock. I like your yard and house. can you make a channel by showing your nice house?

Literally.

🌬🚣‍♀ Thanks so much 🌟

List of materials please

Very cool and doable. Did you secure the ramp to the ground in any way?

Day light?????

If only I could be a kid

Lol I ❤️ the kids

Quick tip: I wouldn't put the apoxy on the tops until you see how stable the dock is first. You may need to add water to the barells for stability.

I'm going to build one of these on my pond so I can put a tent on it and camp out. Would be perfect for the apocalypse lol.

Great video thanks for the detailed supplies list. Going to try building tomorrow. Do you think 4 barrels on the corners would be enough? That’s what I currently have. The six you used seemed to definitely raise it quite a bit and I’m wondering if four would do the job.

Do you have to remove the pier in the winter? If so, how do you remove the pipes?

You mention your ramp is 8 feet long which doesn't allow for split cuts on the 1x6x12's. Somewhere the wood parts list isn't going to add up given the details relayed on the video and the material list.

Do you think a piece wood would work instead of the conduit?
Like a thick rod ?

Do you know how much money you just saved me.. my goodness.. so what was the price for this whole project

Your buddy looks like Rowdy Roddy Piper 😊

Like this dock boat. Straight forward build.

Insufferable to watch. Should have been a 10 minute or less video

Do you have any finished pics or vids in the daytime? How is it holding up?

Ik this is a old video but is there any way you can tell me and estimate of what this would cost

This video gives me a good idea for building a long walkway towards the end of my pier to finish the third phase. It's quick and dirty and I can break it down later and build a floating pier next to it. It's a major rebuilding of the original that I did in 1985-6 when I scrounged lumber out of the creek and nearby river. Now, it's the blue barrel method... It's either do a floating walkway or build a crane to bring out, set and wash down the next sets of pilings, as I'm a cheapskate and don't want to get a marine construction crew involved when I can do it all over again and cuss, growl and grunt pushing up pilings into dark murky holes in the bottom of the creek, just like when I was younger. Instead of running a matrix of old decking boards into places where I can use them as footing for using the post hole digger to dig a pilot hole for the pilings, I could be able to move the walkway into position and let the tide drop to the mud level and have a very stable platform for moving mud. Also, it's another position that can be used for placing the wash pump, instead of up on the finished dock Excellent video. I hope you're having a great time with it. Seems like everyone that uses jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks are building blue barrel floaters...
Thanks again for the excellent information on how y'all did it.

Instead of using silicone if you are trying to permanently seal the bungs, use heat. Use a standard bung wrench, too. It's muy bueno.

Size of the barrels? 30 or 55 gallons?

❤️ Good Guy!!

Which wood use this dock ?

I absolutely love this video
I love seeing the kids taking part
Thank you for sharing! ❤

Very cool dock, I was thinking of doing something similar for my Eagle project, thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you for this video! I, too, will build my "boat dock" - Town of Davie, no need to inspect 😀

WHAT WAS THE COST OF THAT PROJECT

Stud bowfin lol otherwise called a dogfish.

Thanks so much! I’ve been wanting a new dock but the price is insane and the time it takes it crazy too! Our canal is also a lot of muck but it also has plenty of rock too. Will hope we can get the posts to go down far enough. We’re in our late sixties, but this looks doable! Love it!

I was surprised you didn't pressurize those barrels to ensure even buoyancy.

I’m thinking about how long does the wood last before it starts to rot, did u guys give it any treatment or recommend any kind of treatment?
I loved the video!

Interested in the project but between the poor audio and video quality and the family playing around, this (could have been) interesting 10-minute video became an overweight waste of time. Thank goodness for fast forward.

You are literally and actually using literally and actually too much.

Amazing jobs, congrats! What's the minimum depth needed to build a dock?

Where do I find the list of materials needed?

Great pier! But in order not to walk through the mud at the bottom of the lake, it needs to be cleaned. Dirt can be pumped out with the help of a dirty water motor pump and a Bagermaster suction nozzle. And if there is sand at the bottom of the reservoir, then you can make a beach

That caulk job though…….

Nice work!

Excellent!

Wassup lorenzo its tener hoe have CV you been

This is great! Just wondering how I'd add wheels to take it out in the winter.

Awesome job! I would say predrill the holes for the deck! But other then that looks really good

Floating docks suck.
