Default build my own dock with 55 gallon barrels

I have about 20 - 55 gallon barrels that I will seal up good and I
want to make a dock for a pond. I want a square dock that will sit
out in the middle of the pond. I would like to find directions on how
to build a dock over these drums and what would be a good way to have
a solid built dock. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Scott


I've seen those docks/floats on oil drums and they seem to float too high
unless partially filled with water or sand.
Most around here seem to use blocks of a styrofoam material.



Styrofoam blocks has been outlawed in my state, you need to use a hard
plastic floats, which can be filled with foam. The beads of Styrofoam
are hell on the environment.
