We have the contractor sink the poles when they were doing the pond, getting ready to build the deck and this video is very helpful.

Thanks you so much. This was the first video that I talked to the camera.

Im planning on doing a small dock like this next to my pool in a canal so this gives me a decent idea. Thanks

Admire the skill to build. My husband is getting ready to do a pond dock. So many men do not enjoy learning how to do these things anymore. Hope our sons continue in the path.

Great work! Planning on ripping out the old dock. Previous owner put a bunch of 2x4's into the ground and screwed to the base, what a disaster. This is so much better, especially with those 4x4 posts concreted in, its not going nowhere. I have a pool ladder I want to install, if I make it this way, and put the ladder at the edge, do you think it will sag over time from the front?

@schmitty750

I would just bolt the ladder to any part of your 2x6 or 2x8 framing. Could also buy a boat ladder and bolt it to the deck work. Thanks for watching!

Hello great video. How did you set The posts that are furthest out into the water?

@schmitty750

2 жыл бұрын

I used a post hole digger and only got about 8" down in the clay. The 2 middle and 2 front posts are cemented in and about 4' deep so they hold it pretty solid. You can rent a gas powered water pump and jet them in though.

this turned into a BYOT episode for a bit back there....

Very cool 😎

I have a deck that needs to be expanded in width can I add to the existing deck? And if so PLEASE someone share any and all suggestions!

Probably just take the deck boards off, add a runner on each outer edge and install wider deck boards.

looked good to me my style of carpentry work. simple and to the point. Is it still standing?

Still standing! The pond level came up high enough to go through the new spillway and the dock is just high enough.

Such a pier and a lake need care. The bottom must be cleaned from bottom sediments and algae. It is better to do this with a motor pump for dirty water and a suction nozzle for a mini dredger Bagermaster
