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.

Nice farm pond platform. Looks great and I’m betting it’ll be huge fun for everyone.

The drums and lids are polyethylene and PVC glue does not work on this material. Most likely the gaskets are not rated for the chemicals in the glue or primer. The major component in the PVC glue is tetrahydrofuran and will embrittle the PE. Consider filling the drums with packing peanuts (cheap and light weight) and simply tightening the bung closures tightly without any type of sealant. These closures are not UV stabilized and will deteriorate over time. Direct the bung ends toward the inside to shield sunlight.

Was going to say you past the 16 on center requirements and you installed it in the sun, the composite swells and shrinks dramatically, you want to cut and install in the shade or not when in full sun...

Very nice of you to put this build on YT. So you used 23.5" between joist centers & therefore 22" opening for the barrels. As your wood is much drier now, do you think this was an OK spacing or would you change this? That way your decking is not resting on the barrels?

I know I'm late to the party, but how about replacing those fragile caps with 2" pvc ones, and then connect all of the barrels together with pvc plumbing (or rigid or flex) that and bring the system air above the water, with a manual valve attached? This would allow the volume in the system to adjust to temperature fluctuations as you open/close the valve as needed, plus, and it may sound like overkill, you can use this setup to just simply pump air at very low pressure and seal, for optimum pressure under the load of the deck. That's the plan for my floating dock, which is about half the size of this one

Hi ADam, it looks great. Thought of doing this about 5 years ago as we have a 12 x 12 non-floating dock rotting away. I do have a bunch of those 30 gallon barrels with those white screw on caps. many of these caps are cracking due to UV light. You may want to coat all of them to protect them from the elements instead of just siliconing them tight. Many literally are cracking. Seems awful costly though doing it this way. Can I use 2 x6's for my beams and sides? Also, what do you think of using wood and then an epoxy coating ont he floor to cut costs down and so you can go with almost any color you want? Most Trex colors are dark and put off a lot of heat. Give me your thoughts bro. I have no tractor so if I do this, I will ahve to get really creative.

@@IndyFarmLife I'm an overkill kind of guy on certain things. Do you think your stability from side to side is mroe or less that it is 16 x 16 though over HOW you built it? I was thinking of building a see-through floor platform the other night using 1-inch ribbed polycarbonite that you can buy for roofing and a regular framing method. That would be awesome. We have those 50 to 80 pound grass carps in our pond thta would probably come right up to you. They eat bread and not just algae. What do you think of that idea? You would see the framing but open water underneath also. It would also reduce the weight by about 1,000 pounds or more than using trex. I know they give a 10-year yellowing warranty so I thought if it started yellowing by then, I could just go over it with Rustoleum Restore for about $30 to $50. Just my thoughts. There are companies that make some heavy duty FLAT-RIBBED polycarbonate. Also, you can cover the ply in the water to slow down yellowing during those months. Not sure where you live but I live n the snowbelt in NE, Ohio.

Two years ago they got 6 feet in one day and it happened on my wife and I's romantic getaway to Presque Isle (14 white sand beaches) of all days. LOL. Anyhow, we usually get 8 to 10 feet of snow a year and some heavy winds because we are 7 miles south of Lake Erie so we get that lake effect. Only 30 inches of snow the last two winters but the winter lasted at least 4 weeks longer than usual. Yeah, going with the polycarb takes abut 1,000 pounds or more off the floor weight alone that you have in trex. Do you have a total weight of your deck doing it your way? That is a monster but very well built. I did a design on graph paper the other day to build a 16 x 16 with polycarb. Did you use 30 or 55 gallon barrels? I forget. I need to figure out the total cost would be. But I should be able to go with 2 x 6's due to the much lighter floor weight. There has to be a way to do it. I am showing about 14 barrels would probably work and it looks like I can probably have 75% viewing with the barrels in place. I was messing with eccentric squares (two outer squares to hold 10 of the barrels in the corners to stabilize, then an inner circle with four barrels dead center in a smaller square. Then run joists from the inner small square to the first outer square. So 3 squares and then joists from 1st square to 2nd square and then brace the 2nd square to the largest outer square. My thought on it. I think it would really work. If it ever began to yellow, you could run epoxy paint over it and it would only add about 10 pounds to the structure. You just wouldn't be able to see through it anymore or just use the yellowing polycarb for a greenhouse and put new on every so often.

I'm happy to weigh in, but as you go down this path, if you are planning a commercial property, there are probably a lot of building codes/ordinances you are going to need to follow. I'm not sure a dock built like this would suffice. 1. This dock has 24 barrels, so in could support over 10k before sinking. You have to factor in the weight of the dock itself too, but there is plenty of capacity on this dock. 2. It will probably happen eventually, but we used pressure treated lumber. Also, none of the lumber actually touches the water, so that should help. 3. Yes, you could definitely use steel.

@IndyFarmLife

Yes, I had heard that as well, but I didn't do it. ha As you saw, we closed our barrels up in the blazing heat. They did suck in a bit after the weather turned cold, but we haven't seen any 'collapsing'. They have all held up well with no loss of buoyancy. My fear with a small hole is that water will still somehow find its way in. The best advice I heard was to fill the barrels with closed cell foam. A great idea, but it then defeats the purpose of this being a 'cheap solution'.
