...my two cents
Here's a thought and I'm hoping that someone with experience will comment. Use a floating dock, built with lumber and those large black plastic air chamber plastic floats, and it can be left in all year without the need for a water circulator.
Sure, it will get frozen in but it will not get damaged. Water expands in volume by ten percent when it turns to ice. A wood dock should survice because the expansion force is equal inside and out of the wood frame. As a floating dock, it has no vertical lake floor supports.
Anyone be doing this or seen it?
