Anyone know where you can pick up the barrels used under floating docks? We're looking at building a little fishing/jon boat dock on my buddy's pond. Does not need to be pretty, just float

We can build the decking ourselves but I have no idea where to get the barrels or floats locally.

I might have some (2 or 3) empty 55 gallon drums at work.

Unfortunately I am off till July 9th. If you want them then let me know.

Get ahold of me. My Dad brought a bunch of them home over one summer to do the same thing, and never got around to it. I've been wanting to get rid of them for a while now, and didn't know what to do with them. They are the white ones that are, I would guess, 25-30 gallons.

I just called my Mom, and she is gonna check tomorrow to see how many are there. I say there is over 6 of them.

You can have them for free, just come get them. They are up in Clarkston, between Mt. Holly and Pine Knob.
