floating walkway
floating walkway
(OP)
Hi all,
I have got myself an interesting problem in that I have to come up with a way to cross 30' of lake/cove water to access an acre of property. it has to be able to support a riding mower across the walkway and be able to swing 90 degrees for a neighbors boat access, or fold up and out of the way. I was thinking 5' x 8' sections of floating dock using plastic barrels or poly floats tied together and anchored to the seawall with a heavy duty hinge. I am unsure how I would swing the walkway one way or the other and how I would deal with the wind wanting to push it open or closed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
