Thanks for the link, i can't vew pics here anymore since my membership expired.

I take it those are all floating docks with roofs supported by the floating docks?

Do you guys not get snow there normally? It's not that far south, i would expect that this would be a normal annual occurrance, and the docks would be designed appropriately. That doesn't look like that much snow, maybe 6"... am i wrong? How much did you get?

That looks like some serious damage. It also looks like in some places the boats are actually holding up the docks and supporting the roofs.

Around here we get weather like that annually. I've never seen a roof supported by a floating dock. The enclosed wells around here are supported by some serious pilings, and there are usually hoists built into the roof to lift the boats up and support them on the docks for the winter. Any floating docks, of course, have to be removed from the water for the winter.

Most of the damage was due to the 4-5 inches of freezing rain/ ice that built up then about 10 of wet snow too much weight
