Nice dock and nice video. I especially appreciate a video that is short, well composed, and not purposefully inflated with unnecessary extra 5 minutes. Sending this one to my dad for this weekends project!
haha thanks so much for that, i try to keep them under 10 minutes and really still in the beginning stages of what my audience likes.
I HATE when i go to look for say a recipe and i have to watch 5-7 minutes of what inspired them about chocolate chips LOL
Hey! I made a second video just and short and simple haha
This one explains how to build a piece to attach to land.

How many people can sit on this boat?
This is the best video yet!
That's exactly what I'll be doing for a fishing raft.
Mine will be 4' X 8' for the same reason... Using dimensional lumber w/ minimal cutting. My deck will be marine plywood w/ outdoor carpeting.
outdoor carpeting?! wow that would be such a cool feature! great idea and glad I could help.
I've been a residential carpenter my entire life and really enjoy it. I mean, I loved my job. Building is so fun to me, and I made a decent living at it. I got very impressed watching a woman frame this floating dock. You rock gal!
I cannot frame houses anymore, due to being paralyzed, but I still build a lot of stuff. From decks to birdhouses, to muzzle loaders and muzzle loader accoutrements.
Is not building just really fun and rewarding there gal?
thanks so much!
Also, if you need any advice on good quality sub contractors in this area, all you have to do is ask and I will give you their info.
Thanks so much for the video! We did this today for our (small, freshwater) pond and it's awesome. Me (handsome athletic stud) and my son (14 skinny disaffected) managed the whole project. We built the frame and dragged half of it into the pond, got the barrels in / under, and started laying decking down. Then pushed the rest into the pond and - with an extra barrel for flotation, got the other barrels in there. I HAVE NO IDEA how anyone could build this on the ground and then push it into the water without an army ... The lumber weighs a ton, but the $10 barrels we found online from a (literal) crackhead work like a champ ... My truck was riding Low-Low on the way home from the lumber store ... crazy. All said and done, once you have the materials, this is actually a 4 (four) hour project. Sooooo cool! We have many more "Pond-Days" in our future - many thanks!
Aw i am so glad you had great success with it! Enjoy it and have fun!!
Wow, your space and life are beautiful. Enjoy it and appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Important to use screws,not nails. As a youngster we built a diving platform. The wave action and stress of use by groups of us would cause nail heads to work their way above the surface. These cause quite a bit of injury to your wet feet, tearing holes in the bottoms. Having no screws back then we just hammered them back down again often and roughed it.
Great workmanship. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Nice editing! I love the way you interweave friends and family into your build stories!
Thanks! Family is so important to me. I also love having these memories to look back on

Nice job on the dock and keeping it simple and easy. One thing I’d suggest based off my dock experience is to rotate the barrels so the bung openings are parallel to the water to avoid any possible filling of them. I also used plumbers tape to seal the bungs. Huh huh yes I said bung. 😂
That's a great idea! thanks so much
Awesome work Denika! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
thanks fred!
Muito prático a montagem deste batelao achei o máximo
Well done. You're the only one who showed us how you tied them in
Awesome! Im glad you could use the information, I also couldn't find that anywhere so it was really just trial and error for me but its been three years and its holding up great!
Great pier! It can be used as a raft for a mini dredger to clean the lake from mud. To do this, you need a motor pump for dirty water and a suction nozzle Bagermaster
A motor on this would be awesome!
Very nice! I found this video while searching how to build a small pontoon bridge. Same idea, just different dimensions.
I almost have to do everything by myself, so have learned a little about moving heavy things. Having a few harbor freight dollies around, or temporarily addding wheels to the item, can be a back saver.
Im glad it was helpful! dollies are my best friend haha
SIMPLE AND IT WORKS GREAT‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
thanks so much I'm so glad you found it helpful
Wonderful !! Thank you very much dear. I'm really like this kind of videos.
I'm so glad! your welcome

I have built a dock and a couple rafts with 55 gallon plastic drums. I learned some things, the hard way. You want to seal the drums in the middle of your temperature difference. For MN sealing the drums at 30 degrees works good. The first dock sections I sealed the drums at warmer temperatures and in the winter they caved in some, so I drilled a small hole in one cap above the waterline, but somehow they still can fill with water. So seal in cooler temps.
You can't have too much floatation. My first dock / raft had drums has 12sf per barrel, my last has near solid drums at 6.55sf per barrel. There is no such thing as too many drums.
thankyou! These are such great tips!
Excelente idéia...parabéns.
thankyou!
One year later you can buy a decent house boat for the price of the wood in this dock
Literally LOL. so frustrating
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All your works so beautiful,
Thank you so much!

Seen one of them out in Louisiana while fishing.. It had a motor on it!! It was pretty cool lol
Caleb504 oh that would be so cool!
You are so wonderful and well done, keep going 🌹
Thank you, I will :)
@@dcwoodworks yummy
Bad ass build! Great job
J D thanks! I appreciate that. I try to keep most of my videos straight up to the point. I get so irritated on youtube with a 6 minute intro lol
J D check out the rest of the videos. There’s one where I do an addition to this floating dock it’s pretty cool
If you swap the word "dock" for the word "raft" you'll have a more accurate description of what you just built. Great job. We had one when i eat a kid at a lake house in Michigan. A LONG time ago when the barrels were metal. Yes metal.
We enjoyed that raft for years and years.
good point. I did in another video build a dock that I attached it to.
Brilliant idea.
Thank you! Cheers!
lovely lady and lovely dock!!
Thanks! Glad you like the video.
Maybe a pool ladder to help get on, add a cooler and umbrella and you got a party. Nice project!
Cory Driver thanks Corey! I am posting a new one tomorrow with an addition. And then I think I will be adding some slides aswell. Plus beer. Always beer

Gracias y ánimos...
Me.Gusto Felicito la Inteligencia de Quien lo hizo. Muy bueno para divertirse y mover algo en la baslsa.
id of left a little gap between your deck boards just so the rain falls threw .and also uness it was womenized wood id of stained it or painted to look good and last thing id of put a bevel on all corners and edges of wood so when climbing on and off it ..no slivers or cuts on edges .no sharp edges . but over all good job .i made one with steel drums and used cable instead of rope and put connectors on inside of drums like you did ..good job .
Great tips!

Nice video well done in short time
Glad you enjoyed
For stability you need to fill up almost half gallon water in each plastic barrel and good idea to add some more plastic gallon.
If you are able sand or something similar would be better because it wouldn’t move or splash around.
good idea! we haven't found much of a wobble though
it actually hasn't wobbled very much but good idea!
Amazing guys
thankyou!

Wonderful video, thank you. I'd be curious to know how much a 10 x 10 deck like this would weigh? Seems like almost a pontoon boat, but with the barrels spread out as you have them, using this as a boat is kind of problematic because it could be too wobbly. Alas it's best as you have it; a floating dock!
tip if you have to cut the deck boards. Wait until they’re all down and run a cordless saw to make it all flush in one go
great tip thanks! Itll definitely help someone out
Aluminum Plumbers Tape foe the Barrel Ties Works great.
ahhh, good tip! thankyou!

Hi, how has this dock held up over the years? Have the barrels pushed the top deck boards up?

Fun project. Couple things, barrels are cheap, load it up. Leave space between blocking and barrels... if they need draining over time getting them out and in that tight space is a headache. Use framing nails, not deck screws as the screws are weak and will break over time. Screws for decking only.
Thanks for the tips. This dog has held up for the last six years though. I’m shocked at the great condition it’s in.
Nice N Easy.... love it... Subbed too. you should do a review of how its holding up, would love to see that. Am planing on building similar thing for salt water use.
Bike And Fish good idea! I will do that soon. It’s been in use for a full year now that great idea. We did actually attach it to land. And then built another piece. And a dock. (The three newest videos on my channel). But I might build one more and put it out further. The lake we are on is half salt water so my review will be great for you. czcams.com/video/xc53HJYRZwg/video.html
@@dcwoodworks Thank you, am actually watching those videos now haha.. Its great tips.. Easy to follow too with minimal/cheap/affordable materials.
Sweet!
Thanks!
Good work 💪
