What a great idea...It helped me build my dock,
By Troy Dawson (Augusta, ME) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dock Designs, Second Edition (Paperback)
The book goes through a series of design considerations. Each chapter builds upon the previous on. The author shares many valuable concepts that I had not thought about. I not only learned about docks, I learned about my lake. A short book, but packed full with useful information. The assembly instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The blueprints gave the exact dimensions for every single piece. The author even has the exact number of screws needed for each design. A little expensive, but the color graphics and presentation make it worth every penny!

Dock Designs, Second Edition,

This review is from: Dock Designs, Second Edition (Paperback)
Way over priced for what you get! Based on the price I was expecting a lot more information and better illustrations. It is worth $10-15 at best.
