FLOATING DOCKS
As the name suggests, this kind of
dock does not stay in one place; it moves. Therefore, it has to be secured in
place with the aid of cables; they serve as underwater anchors. These anchors
are created from poles or logs made of wood. Rollers are placed on this dock.
In turn, an inclined surface rests on the rollers; this inclined plane serves
as a connection between river/sea and shore. Since the rollers are there, it
becomes possible to adjust the docks in alignment with the motion of the water
flowing underneath the dock. Your floating dock acquires its buoyancy through
Styrofoam billets, which also prevent water logging. All in all, it has a
highly adjustable nature, even permitting equal distribution of weight.
