I was scratching my head as to how I was going to weight down the dock when I go up Fri. Thanks for the great idea, it's a lot easier to fill (and remove) trashcans of H2O than to drag around rocks or blocks and probably more effective too. Let's see, if the water was just level with my dock's top, each filled can would add ~267 lbs of weight. Even if it was under by 6", each can would still add ~200 lbs. Thanks for making my day !
