First of all if you replace the existing floating dock with a new one you will need to get a permit from APCO. Below is the guidelines for docks so based on your dock size you might be limited in the square footage of your floating dock. Mine was limited to 300 sq ft. because of the size of my existing dock. We built our floating dock and it took four of us all weekend, but it was designed by a Ga Tech engineer so it was probably over designed. Not sure if this is the info you were looking for. If you are looking for plans you can get them on line. Just do a search for floating dock plans. That's what we did. You can get all the materials at Russell in Dadeville.

DOCK SIZE: The total allowable square footage for Structures (floating dock, boathouse, wet slip, boat slip, walkway over 6’ (wide) is 1510 square feet. Structure shall not exceed 50 feet in length. Piers 6 ft. and less in width are considered walkways and will be included in length but will not be included in the square footage guideline. Covered (roofed) structures must be open and cannot be walled or enclosed; however, a portion of one exterior side may be walled for the placement/construction of an approved storage area. Sketch should show if covered (roofed) and dimensions. Non reflective materials must be used. No habitable fixtures are allowed.

With regard to the construction of and remodeling of floating structures, flotation shall be encased or closed cell (extruded) expanded polystyrene of good quality and manufactured for marine use which will not become waterlogged or sink when punctured. All beaded foam material being replaced shall be removed from the reservoir and properly disposed of.

FLOATING DOCK(S): Floating dock(s) attached to a stationary pier should not exceed 12 feet beyond the stationary pier. Total length of dock and floating pier shall not exceed 62 feet. If the floating dock is to be built with a walkway instead of a stationary pier, the dimensions and lengths will fall under the dock size category. Must use approved flotation (see below). Certain restrictions may apply according to seasonable water levels.
