CUSTOMER TIP: In determining the # of dock floats needed for your project, in general, you can get a good estimate by multiplying the square footage of your floating dock or swim platform by 25 which will give you the total buoyancy weight needed.  Then divide this number by the buoyancy rating of the size float you will be using.   For example, a 10x10' floating dock = 100 sq ft.  100 sq ft x 25 = 2500 lbs of weight.  If you are using 12" floats, the buoyancy of each float is 400 lbs.  So 2500 lbs divided by 400 = 6.25 floats (Round up to 7 Dock Floats Needed).  In addition, more dock floats will need to be added to support average # of persons you expect to be on the dock or swim platform at one time as well as equipment, boats, etc.   Keep in mind, once you get your floating dock in the water, it is going to be difficult to pull it up and add more and adjust position of floats if you miscalculated.  In addition, positioning of floats is important in ensuring that areas of the floating dock which will be receiving the most weight bearing are adequately supported with dock floats.  For general purposes, freeboard or distance from the top of the dock to the water level averages 14-15" using 12" floats and 16-17" using 16" floats with one of Dock Accents' floating dock kits.
