A floating dock floats in the water and maintains the dry area between the water and the base of the dock. A pier is stationed into the ground, under the water. This enables the dock to fluctuate with the water.Steel docks are the preferred dock if you are considering adding a roof system to your dock.inger Docks generally require additional flotation at the end of the dock to reduce deflection. Depending on your site conditions, several types of anchoring can be used, including; cables, winches, underwater chain anchors, and spud poles.

Red oxide primer is a specially formulated coating used as a base coat for ferrous metals. Red-oxide primer serves a similar purpose to interior wall primers in that it prepares your metal for a topcoat, but it also gives iron and steel surfaces a layer of protection.Working with red oxide primer is not difficult, but it helps to be aware of some safety precautions and application tips.hen applying red oxide primer, use a brush or a short pile roller. Thinning is not normally required if applying with a brush or roller. If you use an airless sprayer to apply red oxide primer, thin the primer 10 to 15 percent by volume with acetone, xylene or synthetic reducer.
