What goes into building a water dock?

Having a water dock built can be a complicated process. Once water is involved, building a dock is not just a matter of carpentry skills. Permanent docks need piercing and underwater drilling, which alone is not something for a novice to attempt. The wood has to be treated the right way so it won't immediately rot and fall apart.

Floating docks also require a level of skill to build. You need to know the right ratio for the size of the dock to go along with the material used for floating. The amount will also change depending on what you are using to float your dock. Some floating docks use pontoons and others use sturdy styrofoam.

Can you legally build a dock on your property?

Depending on where you live, you may or may not be able to have a dock built. Many towns and cities require getting permission first or having a license acquired. Going through the paperwork to get a license can be very tedious and complicated. When you work with a contractor who is experienced in dock building, they will be able to help you accomplish all the steps involved.
