Dock floats are the best choice for building a brand new floating dock. Big gallon blue barrels are not as reliable and environmentally friendly than using Plastic (EPS) Foam Filled Dock Floats. Unlike a wooden dock made with foam filled dock floats, 55 gallon floating barrels on a dock are not very unstable and if it has a leak will sink while a foam filled float holds it Buoyancy much better. Additionally, foam blocks and plastic barrels can be damaging to the environment unlike plastic EPS Filled Dock Flotation. Dock floats strive in the marine environment and harsh sun and proven to be resistant to damage by ice, animals, contact deterioration from Oil products and even bumps from watercrafts. The issue with foam blocks is overtime, pieces from the EPS (Closed Cell foam blocks) can break off and end up polluting lakes and getting eaten by wildlife. Issues with gallon barrels, they may have been previously used to store harmful chemicals. The damage, danger, risk and likelihood of needing to replace plastic barrels and block foam often heavily outweigh the benefit of saving you money in the beginning but can pay more for the replacment.
