Moved the fencing and top as far back as I could. All fencing was thru bolted also. The hinge doors I took all them off. The tag on back was my Mothers on her last car she owned. Figured cool place for it. You can also see the shutters I put on. Since my dock face due west these help with the late afternoon/evening sun.

Good Idea! wanting to do something similar for a raft up location. no motor, a second deck with a slide for the Gkids. maybe a restroom/change room. pull it out with pontoon and anchor it out as base dock for summer fun. Oh and add a nice BBQ pit. cheap with no motor.

I have a neighbor who has a floating dock. He doesn't own a boat. Every now & then he carries a battery & trolling motor onto it, pulls the pins on the last section, and takes it for a spin around the lake. :nana

Here it is on way back to dock. Amazing with the added dock float it towed about the same. Actually since it sets higher in water now maybe towed a little better. But man is it firm in the water. I jumped on it and it barely made any waves. I could barely get it to bounce. If anyone is considering doing something like this adding dock floats is the way to go.

Here it is back at dock. I have less than a total of 2k in it now. Plus 4 days of long hard work and a bunch of beers.
