Floating dock on exposed water
This is something that I toyed with in the past, so I may have asked a
similar question in the past. I want to build a floating dock about 7 feet by 14 feet and locate it beside a seawall fronting a body of water with a fetch of up to eight miles. It frequently gets quite rough, which the bulkhead makes worse. I am concerned with how well it would handle this kind of environment, so I was hoping to hear from someone who might have done this sort of thing. One thought is to give the raft a lot of mass by way of water ballast (free flooding barrels with empty plastic jugs inside), but maybe light weight would be better. The objective is to provide a means for my wife to board her rowing shell (when calm, of course), so thanks for any insight some of you might provide. |
