Looking into building a floating dock to put by the house. Dock will be approx 30' long and built on barrels (will be floating). Dock will need to be floating because of tides and will need to be removed in winter because of freezing. Bottom is muddy muck (soft). Because of depth (only a few feet), I assume I need to secure the dock using steel posts driven into the ground. My question is how deep would I usually need to go? Do I need to hit solid ground or because the dock is floating and it's mostly to stop it from going from side-to-side, is a couple feet likely enough? Also, how do I remove the posts in the Fall? Any tips/advice appreciated.
