[TheForge] Way off topic: boat dock

[Jerry Frost]

The easiest way to stabilize a floating dock is to 
drive a pair of piles at the outer corners and attach 
the dock to them with loose fitting rings. This allows 
the dock to move up and down, either with the tides, 
waves or seasonal water level changes but keeps it from 
tipping or drifting away.

Drums work fine for a few years, you may want to 
partially fill them with water or recess them into the 
frame to make the deck the height you want. Laying the 
drums end to end down the long axis is fine as long as 
they're paired side to side.

Like so.  = = =
