That's a good looking dock! Very sturdy and perfect for jumping off of on a hot summers day!  |

That is a great dock. What is hog flooring? It looks like maybe hollow metal planks? Never seen anything like that. Looks very sturdy and professional though. I love looking at the pictures of your area...it's so different then my area.
We made a dock last summer, but it's nothing like that one. We got some old houseboat floats and cut them in half, and put boards on top of them to make a floating dock.

the flooring is plastic, there were spacers that let the manure fall between the slats

that pond is our catfish pond. I feed them baged feed all summer. I will try to get pics of them ,they can realy make the water boil. we took 300 out last fall and didnt make much of a dent in them.
when they eat the feed insead of eating off the bottom they taste better

Is that Trex? It sure looks like it. Down here they're building piers with trex and metal and doing them in sections so you can take them up for hurricanes. The runners have to be perfectly straight and the sections are on "tracks" that fit down on top of the runnres and are bolted in.
Your dock is beautiful!
