Well I got this good idea on how to build a fishing pier on my 1 acre pond. I want yalls opinions and suggestions on this idea. Maybe yall will have better ideas on the project. The pond is full so i have to build the whole thing in the water about 6 to 7 foot deep. Here go's. I want a (t) shaped pier about 3 foot x 30 feet out with a 16 x 12 deck. You take 4 x 4 treated post and sharpen them on the end like a pencil with a chainsaw. You get 5 gallon buckets and cut out a 4 x 4 square in the bottom of the bucket and slide the post in with the post sticking out of the bucket about 2 feet. Fill it up with concrete. Take them out in the water and beat them in the ground with a sledge hammer flush with the bottom of the bucket so as they act like footings. Then its just framing the thing in. I know theres other ways but i think this is the cheapest way. For my wallet ?? Will this work??
