It is a clever idea. I like it because i could do it. It seems light but in my case i do not think this will resist the waves in my area. The top panels could be lost in the wind in the river. I do not see in this video any attached panels on top. They seem just deposited in the grooves or i did I miss something?
I just had 2 panels of three 1x6 connected together and laying on top. 2 years ago a storm hit and a lot of the dock was lost. . The whole purpose of this dock was something I could easily break down and carry and not be too disappointed if I lost in a storm. I replaced it with a dock from www.playstarinc.com/docks which is way more money but I haven't lost it yet.
Very weak system. 2x2 is not enough for weight bearing. Put your deck boards across and use the 2x2 as cleats on the bottom. Make 4 ft sections that can still be removed.
nicely done and well explained, thx.
The best video i saw

How long do the straps last?
is that pretty stable or is it tipsy? Also how wide is the dock?
Great idea! Has this held up?
What size of barrel are those
