I want to add some additional floats to my dock to raise it. I am looking for ideas of how to get the floats under the dock. The dock currently sits about 3-6 inches above the water. I want to add a
4'X6'X24" float to one end of the dock. This float has a buoyancy of 2700 lbs. I need to either raise the current dock or submerge the float to place it under the dock. Some options are:1) Use a come along to raise the dock. Possible but I would need to raise it about 18". Finding an attachment point could be a problem.
2) Load the float with weight to partially submerge it.3) Place tempoary floatation (like an inflatable air bag) under the dock to raise it. Not sure what to use. Any ideas.
4) Use smaller floats.5) Call a pro. Might have to.
Any other ideas?
