We have a pond that was built earlier this year, and looking to put a dock in before it fills completely. There is a 3' shallow area that extends about 20' out from the shore before it drops down to 13-15' in the middle. The shallow area along the shore was put in as a "wading area" for kids to go swimming, and has been compacted. I am envisioning a 15-20' long dock, with built in seating and a railing, and plan on doing the work myself. Looking at a fixed dock, not a floating dock.
My question is, for those who have experience building docks, what are the best ways to build this? Specifically looking for information on the frame and supports.
Personal experience, books, articles and websites are all welcome!
Thank you,
Gonzalo
