DIY 8’ x 16’ Floating Dock for Pond or Cottage (Step-by-Step Build)

In this video I build and launch a floating dock for our pond at Dragonfly Ridge. If you’ve got a small lake, pond, or cottage property and you’re thinking about adding a swim platform or lounging raft, this walkthrough will give you a solid roadmap.

You’ll see:
• Planning the size, floatation, and layout of the dock
• Choosing and positioning floats/barrels for stability
• Framing the dock so it’s solid but still moveable
• Decking choices and fastening tips
• How I launched and anchored the dock in the pond
• Final touches to make it comfortable for swimming, hanging out, or fishing

Whether you’re doing this at a cottage, off a shoreline, or in a backyard pond, this build is all about keeping things sturdy, safe, and relatively simple using common materials.
