This was Exactly what I needed to see , especially at 13:09 when you sistered up the two seperate frames together. have an existing dock and was thinking of building an extension to run parallel with it. build it on land , transfer it to the water then sister it up to the existing dock and re-deck over both , forming one larger dock.
Welcome! Thanks for the kind words. I was just talking with my wife the other night about when we first found our place, and how excited we were / still are. If you have any questions about lake stuff, feel free to reach out: Kelly@citybillyadventures.com 🤙
@@CityBillyAdventures much appreciated, we are super excited too. I’ll definitely reach out without question! Glad to see you still enjoy the life!! 🙏🏼
I sure wish I could hire you to come and restore my pond/lake here in Wisconsin and build me a wonderful new dock like that! Thanks for the fun and informative videos!
Just as a hint, next time when you use come-along (like in 15:47 ) use a hook to attach to the chain and roll up a line over the roller in a hook. This will give you double force so you won't need to put so much force to roll up.
We (briefly) tried putting pvc pipe under the dock, but it was too heavy to get anything under it once it was assembled. I'm glad you enjoyed the series!
Thanks! Honestly we've been a little lazy with maintenance so far - haven't done any actually. Should have put some Thompson's Water Seal on there this year. Plan to do it in the spring
I'm dealing with an aging dock and I wish those who built it originally put some thought into protecting the dock with an easy maintenance process. They used either paint or solid color staining that is so difficult to remove now to put on new layers of protection. Suggest you do some research first!
I looked at a bunch of pictures of docks and used them to help finalize a design. Then I measured out on the ground what I thought was a good size to help visualize it. Then I drew it up on graph paper. Generally, most construction projects (decks, walls, garage shelves, anything with 2x lumber) the boards are spaced 16 inches apart. So once I had my design, I counted every 16 inches on a tape measure to figure out how many 2x6s I needed. I'll be releasing a video on building garage shelves very soon that goes into basic beginner detail on this. Should be out in a couple weeks.
Looks like you have a nice trim board that's flush with the decking around the outside. Is that something you added just before the decking? Or is that part of the structure?
Thanks! I don't remember the exact cost. The floats were a little over $3k with shipping. I can't remember the exact cost for the lumber but I think it was around $1500-$2k.
Love your vids, just a note the small block to level dock was cut cross grain and will likely crumble with time. Just replace with block cut with grain so when installed grain is horizontal and better for taking weight as it is too short (height) to be very strong or lasting. Cheers
Thanks for watching! That makes sense - the block split as soon as I put a screw through it, even with a pilot hole. When the time comes to replace it I'll try the other way. Thanks for the tip 🤙
Loved this whole series. Subscribed to your channel. Can't believe you don't have more followers... You do great videos. Fantastic job restoring the pond. Be sure to hit that dock with Thompson's water seal every year and it'll last for 20 years.
Thank you for the kind words! I haven't had the channel for too terribly long. I'm sure you could tell just in the pond series that my editing skills are slowly improving as I make more videos. Hopefully that makes for better content moving forward. The subscriber count is starting to gain some momentum which is very flattering. Encouraging comments from people such as yourself make me want to keep pumping out more / better videos! Definately gonna coat the dock this spring, wanted to give it the first season to completely dry out Thanks for watching!
@@CityBillyAdventures your editing skills were better than the average video from the beginning. Pond series was fantastic. I've been watching some of your other videos as well. I've been involved in the construction of over a dozen small lakes here in Texas anywhere from 5 to 25 acres and really enjoy doing them. One thing I would suggest is the addition of Red Ear Sunfish as they help significantly with the control of parasites in the pond. Anyway like I said love your videos Hope to see many more in the future.
I appreciate the support! Probably a good idea about the red ears. I'm fascinated by earth moving equipment. I'm 10 years away from a pension, then I might look into getting a job operating an excavator and dig ponds for a living!
I have watched this video many times in preparation for building my own dock. Questions: 1. Why were there still nails sticking out of the 2 x 12's that you put around the permitter to cover the floats at 21:00 when you were nailing in the final board? They appear to be in just before this in the video. 2. We are only allowed to build 18 feet out from the shore where I live. Yours of course is 22 feet. I want to follow your 2 12x12 plan but leave out the 3 foot extension to help make up for this problem. That still leaves one foot to cut back on. How would you remove this extra foot if you had a limit of 18 feet? Just do 12 x 11 or 12 x 10? 3. How many mounting plates did you use to attach the two sister 12 x 12's? Looks like you did just one for your video.
Hey! Thanks for reaching out! 1. The final 1x6 deck board was a really tight fit, so we loosened the screws on the 2x12 skirt to give us a little more wiggle room to get the deck board in place. We tightened it back up at the end. 2. To shorten the design, I'd probably do either 12x10 or 10x10 boxes so the overall width to length proportion still looks good. 12x11 is a waste of a lot of time and wood since you'd have to buy 12' boards and cut them all down. Maybe draw out how it would look using either graph paper or a ruler to see how 24x10 vs 20x10 looks and see which one you prefer. It's up to you but I think the 45° corners at the front of the dock made the design a lot less boxy looking. So even if you don't build the nose I'd still angle the front corners but whatever you think looks good - just a thought. 3. We used two mending plates spaced out along the two boxes. I think we threw a bunch of screws in between that probably don't do a whole lot but it made me feel better haha Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
@@CityBillyAdventures Thank you for the quick response! Another question, how did you determine the weight of the wood in order to determine how many floats to buy?
I used mostly 2x6s and 1x6 deck boards. Once I determined how much of each type of lumber I needed, I just Google'd "how much does a pressure treated 2x6x12 weigh" etc and came up with a rough weight estimate. I made sure to round up on everything so I had plenty of buoyancy
@wolfnewman9432 I'm not sure if you're talking about the dock or the lake, but we're overdue to seal the dock with water sealer to protect the wood. As for the lake, we treat it with copper sulfate a few times per year to keep the algae down and occasionally an herbicide for underwater plants. Recently we've had an issue with muskrats moving in and damaging the clay lining 🤬 but overall the pond is healthy and the fish are big!
I know you're supposed to, but no, we leave the dock in the water all year. It's just too big to move. The floats have some flex to them and so far we haven't had any issues.
Hi mate. Curious, how much does the transition part allow the floating deck to move up and down in the water? We have a lake on our property but the water level can drop over a metre (3 feet, 3in). Would your transition piece allow this sort of drop in water level? Keep up the great videos. Glad I stumbled onto them
Thanks for watching! Our water level drops about 18-24 inches and the transition handled that just fine, gradual decline to the floating dock. The longer your transition piece, the bigger water level fluctuation it can handle without becoming too steep of a ramp. Hope that helps!
There's all different dimensions available. We used several different sizes but all 12" tall. Here's a link: www.dockbuilders.com/permafloat-dock-float-36-x-72-x-12.html
I don't have anything other than the dimensions and the rough drawing I made at 5:04. I can send you the dock drawing if you want Kelly@CityBillyAdventures.com
This was our first winter with the dock, and we left it in the lake. The floats are fairly flexible and we're gambling that they will be able to withstand the ice squeezing them a little bit. So far so good. If the dock was smaller, we'd probably figure out a way to take it out in the winter. That's definately the recommended way to do it
Our water level fluctuates about a foot throughout the year. At full pool, the stationary dock sits just above the water. In mid summer, the water drops down 12 inches or so. Not too bad
The float configuration we have can hold just short of 20,000 pounds. The supplier www.dockbuilders.com sells all sizes of floats. If you need more buoyancy on less dock space, you can get taller floats than the 12 inch ones we got. Don't forget to account for the weight of your lumber, people, and any other objects on your dock!
It would b nice to put in a sprinkler in your yard. U have plenty of water to have the best looking yard in town. Is this your private pond or does them other houses have access to it
I'm pretty sure I found mine on one of the boating equipment websites (West Marine / Overtons) but I don't remember which one. I found the exact same ladder on Amazon, hope this helps! www.amazon.com/Stainless-Folding-Marine-Ladder-Telescoping/dp/B07WNZX4NY?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2YCANK78TB25C
We discussed that. We had 6 inch pipe we hoped to use but the dock just laughed at us when we tried to lift it at all. We talked about bringing in a skid steer to lift it but luckily it didn't come to that
That was Plan B. The dock was too heavy to lift without a jack or tractor or something other than Mrs CityBilly and I. But yeah several people suggested using pipe as rollers
I spent all my summer days (as a teenager) swimming in Blue River in Milltown IN / now I live in Sebring FL (not Ohio) where it is summer eleven months of the year
I think you should have used some of that 6in PVC from the siphon under the floats to roll that sucker in ( as THE OHIO STATE should know ROLL TIDE ROLL !! )
It's great seeing all your projects and the amazing results. Just one note, according to me the music in the background is quite annoying and way to loud.
I don't understand why you are using a come along when you have a truck right there. You could have went around one of them trees over there and just pulled it.
That was one of our backup plans. In hindsight I wish it was our "Plan A" after seeing how well the truck did at the end. I was worried that the dock and my 1500 pickup were too close in weight and the truck might just spin its tires. Live and learn!
I cant decide if the part where you put your wife on the side of the auger that would repeatedly throw her down a rocky slope towards the water was for lulz or not
I went to my buddies fly ice shanty There was a women in there who was clothed quite scanty I asked my friend what should I do He said I know your wife Hop on the Ski-Doo Thank the Lord above I took his advice I thought about it And I said no dice
Far from millionaires. But we feel like we won the lottery with the house we got for pennies on the dollar (foreclosure). It cost a little over $7k to dredge our 1.5 acre lake
Cleveland? I'm just north of Youngstown. Are you in a city or township? I can't find much info regarding permits and whatnot, and all I could find from zoning was that I might require a fence. Lol
Nice! We're in a township. I can't imagine anyone would require a permit for a dock. But I'm also amazed by the amount of times the govt feels the need to interject in our lives so who knows? We did not bother with a permit.
@@CityBillyAdventures I should have clarified... I meant for the pond itself. Lol I know of a couple other ponds in the city limits around here, so I don't think I'd get stonewalled. I've got five acres that has river front on the back end(not ideal recreation or fishing but it's ok), and planning a half acre pond about smack dab in the middle of the property.
Haha yeah that makes more sense! Our pond was already here when me moved in, we just cleaned it up a bit (a lot actually). Your place sounds nice. The river is a perfect spot for your pond overflow. Probably need a permit I'd imagine. I can actually recommend a guy for your excavation if you're interested. We're in Medina County. Not sure how far he goes but he's legit.

Awesome work! What did you for staining, sealing and maintaining your deck/dock?
Thanks! Honestly we've been a little lazy with maintenance so far - haven't done any actually. Should have put some Thompson's Water Seal on there this year. Plan to do it in the spring

They used either paint or solid color staining that is so difficult to remove now to put on new layers of protection. Suggest you do some research first!
Yeah I've got all winter to figure out the best option. Let me know if you have any advice!
Where did you find the plans for the dock? 2x6 spacing and so forth
I looked at a bunch of pictures of docks and used them to help finalize a design. Then I measured out on the ground what I thought was a good size to help visualize it. Then I drew it up on graph paper.
Generally, most construction projects (decks, walls, garage shelves, anything with 2x lumber) the boards are spaced 16 inches apart. So once I had my design, I counted every 16 inches on a tape measure to figure out how many 2x6s I needed.

18:13 We put a 2x12 around the perimeter to cover up the floats as much as possible
I like that you don’t edit out things gone wrong

if the lake / pond freezes this year please add a symbolic ice shanty for all us RUclips followers to see LOL
Do you need to remove this in winter and if so, how do you do it?!

Like a boss
how high above the average water level is your stationary dock? did it line up well with the floating?
Our water level fluctuates about a foot throughout the year. At full pool, the stationary dock sits just above the water. In mid summer, the water drops down 12 inches or so. Not too bad
Do you know how much weight it can carry, e.g. a sauna?
