He says were building a dock and should have said my buddy is building Me a dock haha I hope you wined and dined your buddy after the dock was built! I need to do this as well. Is your buddy available so I could film him building it.
Thanks so much! I’ve been wanting a new dock but the price is insane and the time it takes it crazy too! Our canal is also a lot of muck but it also has plenty of rock too. Will hope we can get the posts to go down far enough. We’re in our late sixties, but this looks doable! Love it!
This video gives me a good idea for building a long walkway towards the end of my pier to finish the third phase. It's quick and dirty and I can break it down later and build a floating pier next to it. It's a major rebuilding of the original that I did in 1985-6 when I scrounged lumber out of the creek and nearby river. Now, it's the blue barrel method... It's either do a floating walkway or build a crane to bring out, set and wash down the next sets of pilings, as I'm a cheapskate and don't want to get a marine construction crew involved when I can do it all over again and cuss, growl and grunt pushing up pilings into dark murky holes in the bottom of the creek, just like when I was younger. Instead of running a matrix of old decking boards into places where I can use them as footing for using the post hole digger to dig a pilot hole for the pilings, I could be able to move the walkway into position and let the tide drop to the mud level and have a very stable platform for moving mud. Also, it's another position that can be used for placing the wash pump, instead of up on the finished dock Excellent video. I hope you're having a great time with it. Seems like everyone that uses jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks are building blue barrel floaters... Thanks again for the excellent information on how y'all did it.
Oh my goodness! What a great note. I appreciate the thoughts and nice comments. I hope it works out for you. I am going to make a video about how the dock has held up over the last 2 years since making the video!
@@watchyourlip3209 yeah if its something smaller than what you had it will be more shakey from what I understand. Like a 6×6 would be more prone to tipping when you stand on the edge unless you have alot of weight in the center. Younger people wouldn't have an issue with this but older people would be alot more likely to fall or something. You could also run a small lag bolt into the support poles from the brackets that hold them in place to keep it from swaying.
Bryce is an amazing friend for sure! Couldn’t of done it without him and his knowledge and certainly without his skillful hands. It was only a 25 minute video and a 2 1/2 hour project so I got my hands dirty to. I’m also looking for a friend that’s willing to buy all the stuff for the project. You know where to find one of them?😂
Great video thanks for the detailed supplies list. Going to try building tomorrow. Do you think 4 barrels on the corners would be enough? That’s what I currently have. The six you used seemed to definitely raise it quite a bit and I’m wondering if four would do the job.
This video was both eye-opening and inspiring. I now have some great ideas as I tackle my up-coming dock project. Thanks for the lesson. On the other hand, your kids were literally so cute, and literally they had a lot of fun, and literally your son was a good fisherman. But literally they were a distraction. I literally found myself trying to literally fast-forward each time that you digressed. Finally, after the 8th time, I literally stopped counting the times that you said “literally”, during the presentation.
Awesome build guys but I’d be sure to put a stopper over top of the posts just so no accidents happen If you look up rebar caps I think that would give you a better idea of what I’m talking about
Hey bud. I spent about $700. That is for lumber, screws, hinges and 6 barrels off of Offerup. Cost of lumber has gone up quite a bit though since I built this thing.
You read my mind. I’m actually about to produce a video that shows how the dock has held up over the last 2 1/2 years. We use it every day. Takes a beating, but has worked wonderfully.
I’m thinking about how long does the wood last before it starts to rot, did u guys give it any treatment or recommend any kind of treatment? I loved the video!
We bought treated wood. A little more expensive but don’t have to worry about termites. It will last a long time because none of the wood is touching the water. Thanks so much for watching the videos. Glad you liked it
A word of caution about lumber. It's marine grade stuff you want to use if it's to be a very long lasting item. That means that the larger dimensions of lumber can be obtained from a speciality yard like Decks and Docks. It's stuff not generally found in the big box stores... I found out that they (Decks and Docks) do not sell marine grade lumber in 2x4 & 2x6 or 5/4. It's ground contact that is used mostly for decking (where your feet go) and is a very toxic splinter if it were the heavier marine grade. Marine grade is rated by the weight of the chemicals forced into the wood. Ask your lumber yard salesperson who is knowledgeable and can guide you based on your needs. If the lumber is to be immersed in water, overrun frequently with brackish, salty or muddy water and/ or stays wet, go marine grade. Deck surfaces are usually fine with ground contact grade. Just don't think that constant contact with the ground means it won't rot. It will. It's the same reason you don't use ground contact grade for pilings in a marine environment. They certainly would rot and not last. The where the mud contacts with surface of the wood in the presence of oxygen, and usually seen to rot in that section of the wood will be only about one to two feet of the section. It's the benthic layer where the worms and microbes do their job. Pilings that are wrapped with a few layers of fiberglass or epoxy resin have been tried with various results. There are tons of products that can be used to treat the decking as you asked. Finding one that doesn't create a slip hazard would be a priority for me if it's a swimming dock, especially with kids or older, less pliable folks.
@@mikegrant8490 Thank you! I was going to suggest the marine grade limber to use on mine since it is a lake adjacent to the bay, which turns brackish during tides. I'll be using 2 x 8's since I want to be able to climb in and out of my kayak on to this. I actually googled how to build dock steps and this came up. more research to come. our water level can rise and fall as much as 4' in a day.
@@cherylefunz7789 ...the more you know. Good luck with your project. Check plenty of design ideas that will suit your needs and try to round off the edges and anywhere your skin can contact. Using some old fire hose can help, too.
@@mikegrant8490 Thanks! I'll see what I can come up with. I need something that can float up when the tide comes inland the water lever comes up about 4' or drops that much, depending on which way you see it.
Great pier! But in order not to walk through the mud at the bottom of the lake, it needs to be cleaned. Dirt can be pumped out with the help of a dirty water motor pump and a Bagermaster suction nozzle. And if there is sand at the bottom of the reservoir, then you can make a beach
Hmmmm. I think there’s several reasons why I wouldn’t use wood for the rods. #1 - much more challenging to get driven into the ground #2 - rot #3 - it would be more tough for the dock to slide up and down when people stand on it or when water levels rise and fall But if you use wood and it works out for you please let me know
Great video! could I get the material list. Specifically looking for the poles and holders. what are the holders called and where di you get them? Thank you!
Thanks bro. Materials list should be in the description of the video. They are just aluminum electrical conduit. Got everything at Home Depot exempt for the barrels
Could have saved yourself a lot of time and mess and skipped the silicone. Get a proper bung wrench for a few bucks and tighten them down good, hit with a little heat they’ll be fine. Or you could put teflon thread tape on the threads if you’re that worried about them leaking
@@watchyourlip3209 I was thinking of pulling the posts up first. Maybe with a farm jack and some tow straps. Like wrap the straps around the bottom base of the pole and use the jack to lift it up. That way there's a solid foundation for the jack to work on.
Well - I have not had to think about that. I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL - it might get into the 40’s one or two nights a year here. If your pond freezes, I’d imagine you want to remove it. It’s easy enough to remove
Do you need permits to build this and keep it in the water? If not was is the loophole around it? I just built one and as soon as I finished my neighbor informed me that I would be fined if I put it in the water without a permit. Any help is appreciated thanks!
Well, each city has its own codes so I’d check with them. If it’s not a fixed structure, it’s actually more like a boat than it is a dock. Slap a trolling motor on it and call it a “dock boat” - that was a little light hearted humor but check the fine print on your city ordinances
Great video, thanks! I see where the four 2x6x12 pieces were used, but where was the fifth one used? Also, would it be better to use 2x10 or 2x12's instead of 2x6 to hold the barrels since it would provide a bit more coverage over the barrels? Would also be helpful if the dimensions of the various cuts and compartments were listed. I think I heard you say 20" to hold the barrels, but not sure about the other dimensions. Thanks again!
Thanks for the compliment. I’d have to check with Bryce to see if there is a method he has on using the size lumber he bought over those that you mentioned. I’ll see what he says and get back to you
they used the four 2x6x12 for the length, and then cut the 5th one in half and used that as two 6 foot boards on each end making the final dimensions 12' x 6' for the main dock. must have made more cuts when he ran to the store for additional supplies. Also cutting the 1x6x12' boards in half for the top planks.
Nice floating dock build!! Was wondering how hard it was to find the places to screw into the joyce’s from the top at the very end. That part was missing in the video. Seems like it might be a pain to find because of the offset boards underneath. Lots of Measuring and marking the top I guess..
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Definitely planning to use this as a model for ours. Is the ultimate size of the dock 6' x 12'? It seems like from the video but wanted to verify. Thanks again!
Should have gotten the barrels that the lid that comes off. That way you can fill them with Styrophone or any kind of expanding foam. That way when it eventually takes on water it will still float.
I am about to build one for our pond on our home we just bought . I took a screen shot of all the materials that will Def save me some time. Looks really good
I have a home in the mountains with a pond in the backyard about 200 feet wide or so. I wonder if nailing those poles into the ground could end up puncturing a liner if there is any. The ponds were built before I moved in.
My total cost of the project start to finish was about 800 bucks. That was about 2 1/2 years ago before all the crazy lumber price increases though. I’m not sure what it would be now
Actually. That was a bad estimate on how long ago it was. It was November 20 20. Prices of lumber started going up significantly over the next six months after that
@@watchyourlip3209 YEA IM SURE. I THINK IT WILL BE CHEAPER FOR ME TO PURCHASE THE ONE FROM BASS PRO SHOP WHICH COST ABOUT $1300. CONSTRUCTED FROM AN ALUMINIUM FRAME AND PVC STYLE PLANKS. THANKS BUD
You mention your ramp is 8 feet long which doesn't allow for split cuts on the 1x6x12's. Somewhere the wood parts list isn't going to add up given the details relayed on the video and the material list.
@@watchyourlip3209 And for the record, trying to help you correct shopping list, not be overly critical of your video, which I found to be an excellent guideline! Guessing not many people have tried to build this ramp off your video and parts list, which I am just completing now and in so doing, discovered the discrepancies that I'm pointing out... Thanks again!
Great to hear!!!! I think from start to finish my project cost me about $800. But I did do this project before all the prices went through the roof for everything including lumber.
your dock still looks good. crazy I watched this video when you published it I was in there today harvesting eel grass and hydrilla
Nice bro!!!!! I appreciate the comment!

Thank you for the materials list. I dont find any other specs that you indicated, like cuts. Please advise.
Cool build. How's it still holding up?
Perfect. We use it all the time. I have a video we made around the 2 year anniversary showing the status.
I'm going to build one of these on my pond so I can put a tent on it and camp out. Would be perfect for the apocalypse lol.
Haha! Why not!?! I’d still be fishing during the apocalypse!!!!
great idea ...LOL
That's awesome!
Thanks
We have had the barrels down by our pond for years waiting on my husband to have time to do this!!
Haha. I get it!!!! I’m the same way. Sometimes I need a little “push” to get going!
Would probably be worth painting the barrels black, would make them blend in much better and would make the whole thing look better overall
That’s a great idea. If there’s a next time, I’m going to do that
The paint will just come off.
Quick tip: I wouldn't put the apoxy on the tops until you see how stable the dock is first. You may need to add water to the barells for stability.
Interesting. Makes sense. It’s pretty stable but I see where you’re going with that

Do you have to remove the pier in the winter? If so, how do you remove the pipes?
Hey. Good question. I’m in south Florida. “Winter” = 50’s - 70’s. Not a problem down here

I am about to build one for our pond on our home we just bought . I took a screen shot of all the materials that will Def save me some time. Looks really good
Thanks bro! I hope it works well for you. We’ve had ours over a year now and it works amazing! Lmk how it goes
foam styro foam.
If only I could be a kid
So true
Why silicone? Wouldn't pvc primer and glue work better?
Perhaps. I just followed the instructions given me. It’s worked so far
what is the total cost if you dont mind me asking with the wood barrels and all the materials needed?
It wound up being like $700. Cost of lumber has gone up quite a bit since then though
@@watchyourlip3209 ok thank you for the information, and video!
@@markusvickery6843 you got it bro
What was the cost. Great video
Thanks pal - total cost was around $600
The dock looks amazing 👏 good job! I would love to build this (if I lived anywhere near water but don't, disappointing:( ).
“I don’t think a kid could do this by themself” Is that a challenge? Lol
Haha. Yeah I should have added: “kids, don’t try this at home. We are NOT professionals!”😂
I have a home in the mountains with a pond in the backyard about 200 feet wide or so. I wonder if nailing those poles into the ground could end up puncturing a liner if there is any. The ponds were built before I moved in.
Oh yeah - I have a way different situation. My canal has about 5-7’ of muddy buildup that I hammer into
@@watchyourlip3209 Looks great though! I can look into other methods to anchor it.
Yes! Hood call! Hope it works out
yes. you will definitely be puncturing any liner you have to hold the water in.
I want a friend like Bryce
He’s awesome in deed!!!
How many 12 ft and 6 ft 2×6's did you need?
I have a list of supplies in the description
Nice
Thanks!!!
Dang dude!
Oh yeah!!!!!
WHAT WAS THE COST OF THAT PROJECT
My total cost of the project start to finish was about 800 bucks. That was about 2 1/2 years ago before all the crazy lumber price increases though. I’m not sure what it would be now
Actually. That was a bad estimate on how long ago it was. It was November 20 20. Prices of lumber started going up significantly over the next six months after that
@@watchyourlip3209 YEA IM SURE. I THINK IT WILL BE CHEAPER FOR ME TO PURCHASE THE ONE FROM BASS PRO SHOP WHICH COST ABOUT $1300. CONSTRUCTED FROM AN ALUMINIUM FRAME AND PVC STYLE PLANKS. THANKS BUD
how much this will cost?
Mine costed about 700$
@@watchyourlip3209 not bad
Maybe your buddy will build the dock for me? And I will proudly say: I build it for 2 hours 😂
I got good friends don’t I!!! - by the way, the other hour and 49 I wasn’t filming, I was building... just sayin
You mention your ramp is 8 feet long which doesn't allow for split cuts on the 1x6x12's. Somewhere the wood parts list isn't going to add up given the details relayed on the video and the material list.
Hmmmm. Well. It did…
@@watchyourlip3209 That's some neat stuff! Turning a 12 foot board into two 8 foot boards :)
@@watchyourlip3209 And for the record, trying to help you correct shopping list, not be overly critical of your video, which I found to be an excellent guideline! Guessing not many people have tried to build this ramp off your video and parts list, which I am just completing now and in so doing, discovered the discrepancies that I'm pointing out... Thanks again!
@@tfactor7998 hey I appreciate that clarification. I’ll go back and take a look at it and see if I erred at all in the list.
Would metal drums work to?
Well, I suppose but not sure how long they’d last?
Fish feeder would be cool 🤷🏼♂️👍🏻
Hmmmmm. I like it. What would it entail?
@@watchyourlip3209 you can get them at pond supplies. there are manual and automatic ones.
@@cherylefunz7789 I love the idea. I’ll look into it!!
How tall was the poles you put in?
I believe they were 10’
List of materials please
sure - its in the description of the video
This is a great video but you could really use a camera stabilizer
Do you know how much money you just saved me.. my goodness.. so what was the price for this whole project
Great to hear!!!! I think from start to finish my project cost me about $800. But I did do this project before all the prices went through the roof for everything including lumber.
A lot of good ideas, but poor execution and too many distractions. Try better next time.
Day light?????
