Flooring
The flooring is made of 2x8 .40 cca pressure treated lumber attached
with stainless steel screws.
Anchors
Galvanized pipe is driven into the ground at the shore and on each side
of deck (weight anchors and cable-to-shore anchors can also be used).
Buoyancy
Each cubic foot of float supports 50 pounds. For example, a pier with
one 4'x 20' walkway and a 10'x12' deck made with four 4'x6' floats would
support 5,600 lbs. less 600 lbs., the approximate weight of the pier.
The total net weight capacity would be 5,000 lbs.
