Do you have a video or any info on how you cut the barrel straps….this is the smartest system I have seen (barring lots of money ones)

I do have a video,after trying a few different saws....table saw was the best,easiest,fastest,and most consistant way to fabricate the straps. I now use 3/4"x0.30 ths stainless banding straps for floating docks,but for a barrel boat....id still use the straps made from barrels. Both hold great,but the barrel straps look better at the cost of cutting up more barrels. kzitem.info/news/bejne/s5puqpimaZ2Xmn4si=Cl1kI7pTuD2IE35n

Actually my barrels are only 2mths old,had a non hazzardous,non toxic chemical in them.my seals are still new.so i just tighten them on factory seals. But if i had to seal them in the future,id use brake cleaner/or acetone on caps and bung threads.let dry,then marine 5200 on the threads before tightening. If it comes to it,ill make that video.

Out of curiousity would 4 barrels be enough for an 8x16 float? usually just one or two people on it. Great idea on the straps!
@nickpellegrin

Well....each barrel can hold about 220lbs to get down to halfway submerged.....so with the weight of your platform,if 2 people stood on 1 corner id be affraid that corner will go under a be unstable. Id go minimium of 8-10 barrels. Its better to over build than under. 6 probably would get the job done.....but would be better. If you want to build to hold 600lbs....design for 1200lbs in my opinion.

@@MrScottgp No problem,i reply when i see comments.try to be as helpful as i can.....thats the purpose of my channel. I built a 8x16 with 10 barrels,guy wanted heavy duty to put a permanant 8x12x6 high scaffold ontop. He loves it,very stable with 2 people ontop. Over build is always the better option.
