Plastic Barrels for Docks…What size do you use?
We get lots of questions on the different sizes available for your floating dock barrels. Watch the video below as Phil explains the basic sizes that are readily available for use Polyethylene Barrels to use for your floating dock kit or swim platform.
Floating Dock Cost Comparisons
The cost of a traditional floating dock using standard dock floats
can vary anywhere from $24 to $30 dollars a square foot, but can also go much higher than that.
A Rolling Barge Floating Dock using 55 gallon plastic drums as the dock floats will run between 30 to 40 percent less.
If you buy one of our floating dock kits the cost will be around around $15 per square foot. However even if we provide you a fully assembled dock the cost before shipping will cost about $20 per square foot.
There’s no question that the ‘Out of the Box’ cost is a great value, however when you factor in the versatility and longevity of using Rolling Barrel Technology for our floating dock construction, it make the comparison even more impressive.
