We want to build a pier on our weekend property...and a bulkhead as
well. Do you guys know a site that has helpful hints, etc? Maybe some
pictures of construction?
Thanks

please send to my email address




You're out of luck. Piers, and particularly bulkheads are specific to a
given site. The anchoring is particularly critical and can vary greatly
from as little as a hundred feet or so up and down the shoreline.

Your best bet is to talk to the owners of the nearest bulkheads and piers,
find out as much as they know, and get the names of the outfits who did the
work. Then contact them for estimates. In a proper proposal it will be
apparent what is needed, and that leads to the how. In which case you can
make a decision as to how much of the work you can do, and how much will
have to be contracted out.
