How to Build a
Wooden Dock System in 4 Step
Mount the dock upside down on a flat surface in order to easily install floats. The boards need
to be flush on the bottom side to install decking properly in last step. Lay down boards, best
side out, and screw together. The screws should not be aligned with holes you will make for
hardware (A). Check squareness by measuring an "X" from corner to corner (+/- 1-4") (B). You
can lock the position by screwing down a diagonal piece temporarely on the frame (C).
"but better"
For a floating dock section, spread 2" x 6" float supports and floats evenly on the frame (to eva-
luate where they will be installed). Mark the frame and supports (for bolts) accordingly.
Remove floats and screw on the support boards. Bolt on floats to the supports.
A) Before installing the decking, you will need help to flip the structure over to avoid any back
injuries. Carefully flip the struture top side up.
B) Confirm squareness again. Lay down, space and screw on decking planks along each side and
inside joists.
