I went up to the lake after work tonight and finished anchoring the dock. I got most of it done yesterday but I wanted some help for the last anchor. The shore side was pretty easy because I could stand on the ground. The far side turned out to be a real pain in the butt. But the dock is straight and does not appear to move much.
This is one of the 4 anchors I made. I also built a socket and welded it to an old fence post to drive them into the lake bottom. Then we used 3/8" proof coil chain to hold the dock in place. I added a 40 lb weight to each chain about 2 feet from where it attaches to the dock to help pull the chain down. This should allow the dock to move up and down but limit it's side to side movement.
