Wood Floating Dock - Free to good home

Post by ranger617 » Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:28 am

I have a 27 ft x 10 ft wood / steel floating dock that needs a new home. FREE. It's currently beached at my cottage shoreline: 2642 Rt 6.

Built with steel frame and steel "drums". Previous owner just left it anchored in the lake during the winter. Dock was built by the guy over on Rt 37 / Black Bay road in Hammond. This dock is heavy.

If you want to look at the dock, feel free to stop over. There's a chain across the entrance to the driveway. If you take it down, please put it back up.

Must be gone by Thanksgiving, either dismantled or floated to a new home.

Nice offer. However the only problem with metal docks is there heavy and once the metal barrels rust through they fill with water and r useless and almost impossible to get back out of the water for replacement. So unfortunately many of these barrels/docks end up at the bottom of the lake. Might consider cutting up and scraping it. Thanks

Fortunately this dock may have found a new home. When you don't have a dock, even this one has potential. I'll know more this week. I really don't want it used as structure as good as that sounds.

In case you don't have a home for the dock. How are the barrels strapped in the frame? can
they be easily removed and replace with Plastic drums? Thanks

Honestly, I don't know. I never crawled underneath it to see. Assuming we have no issues getting off the shoreline, the new owner will be towing it to it's new location Saturday, 11/12.
