Aluminum is not a good choice. The shank has a hole in it for connecting to pipe, and it works well.
My dock is 5 by 10 feet, and I only used four posts to build it, so it's very sturdy!
I used 1. 5" EMT
I use mine to hold my 24' pontoon at the sandbar, one on the back and one on the front attached to a PVC T, but I'm not sure if it has enough girth to be used as a permanent floating dock.

The addition of these to my dock has been fantastic. They've increased the river's stability by a factor of ten. br>br>Four of these are used by me. There are two at the dock's end and two at the walkway's midpoint. br>br>During the first season, I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. figuring out how to drill the pipe to match the holes in the auger I've just finished lining up I positioned the auger outside the pipe, marked it with a pencil, drilled a hole through one side of the pipe, and inserted the auger at the end. Then I drilled all the way through to the other side of the pipe, through the hole I made and the hole in the auger; it's not as difficult as it sounds. Drilling the pipe by hand, however, would be ineffective. You're drilling a round pipe with a round auger, and you're having trouble getting the holes to line up. br>br>Another trick I discovered to avoid getting in the cold water while installing these is to put the pipe through the holes in the dock first, then attach the auger. To accomplish this, I use clamps to hold the pipe up just far enough below the hole for me to reach down and bolt the augers in place. The clamps are also useful for holding the pipes in place while I take down the dock in the fall. br>br>These are heavy-duty, and I'm confident they'll last a long time; I even screwed them into a rocky riverbed, and they grabbed just fine, with no chips or breaks in the auger. I use a long pipe wrench to get the pipes about two feet down in the bottom.
1 1/4 INCH schedule 40 PVC was used. It slipped right on after I heated the edge with a lighter. PVC glued a T on the top and bolted the bottom with stainless wing nuts. $75 was saved by completing a 15-minute project. In the middle, I put unions so that I can break it down and store it in seats. Boom! Please accept my sincere gratitude.
I bought three, but only one came with the screw and nut that should have come with them all. So it's probably a hit-or-miss situation as to whether you'll get the entire item. It's a shame because I was looking forward to putting these to use. Two of them have been returned, and fingers crossed that the replacements are complete.
These have a lot of potential. When we take the boat out to a sandbar, I use them as shallow water anchors. These almost fit into a shedule 40 1 1/4" pvc pipe, but with a minute of heat gun work, they're a perfect fit. They're strewn about in a 1 1/2" container. The fact that the nut and bolt that come with these are stainless and will not rust surprised and impressed me.
It's very simple to connect to an inch and. These are incredibly useful. An inch and a quarter is very simple to attach. Pipe made of steel To attach a waverunner dock, he drives it into a sandy, rocky bottom lake.
The building was of excellent quality, and the price was extremely reasonable. They did a fantastic job with the dock installation.
Awesome. Schedule 40 1 is ideal for this. 5”. They were used to construct some pontoon sand anchors.
Thank you for making it so easy to park the boat on the sandbar.
