If I an not mistaken APCO will not approve drums under a floating dock anymore. believe you have to use the enclosed black capsule type, if I am not mistaken.. Not sure if they will still allow the blue nylon cover floats anymore or not, but do not think they do.

Purchased my floats at www.carolinadocks.com and they will probably outlast the dock itself. They are $69.99 plus $38.61 for shipping. I was able to negotiate a better deal by calling them. Think I paid around $90.00 delivered about 3 years ago.

I used the 24"x48"x12" Dock Float and placed 14 underneath my 12 x 14 dock but this is overkill, as each float is rated at 400lbs and I estimated by dock to weight 1,700 lbs excluding any people. And even with 12 people (which would never happen) on dock at an average of 150 lbs each that is only another 1,800 lbs so total would be 3,500 lbs including dock. And I have enough dock floats to carry 5,600 lbs. So on a 12 x 12 dock I would say 8 floats would be ample that would rate out at 3,200 lbs.
