What type of larger jetty?

[David]

We are planning to build a larger pier in the shape of an L. One part will run along the shoreline, and the other part will extend straight out from the shore. The beach is not deep. What type of construction method do you recommend and what is the approximate cost?

Best regards,
David

It is very dependent on what bottom conditions you have.

In my opinion, the best is to cast the shore-near part and complement it with a floating dock.

Thanks. Do you have any idea about the cost?

If you've passed the stage where 6 barrels and some pressure-treated wood work as a dock, it seems to cost 50-100kSEK to get a dock that floats. At least if you want to use it as something other than a swimming dock. Then, of course, it can become much more expensive as well....

It is very dependent on the bottom conditions you have.

Ice conditions and the extent of water level differences that occur are also important.

In difficult ice conditions, a floating dock that can be removed in the winter is almost a necessity. If the dock is exposed and winter storms push the ice in, there's probably nothing else that will hold except what has been pulled up onto land.

With large differences in water levels, a floating dock is also likely a necessity.

Otherwise, I would like to advocate for stone cribs, attractive and long-lasting if the ground conditions are suitable.

It is exactly there that I have negative experiences unless we are talking about really large stacks of stones that are laid over several years.

It is also possible to make concrete floating elements relatively cheaply. If you're really lucky, you can get hold of old logging pontoons. 12 meters long and 40-60 cm in diameter. Then you get the base for a large bridge right away.
