Diving Raft
1.8 metres x 2.4 metres (6’-0’’ x 8’-0’’)
Construction
Construct as for a typical raft providing extra flotation on the
side which the diving board projects. This provides support to the
diving board and dampens the movement of the raft. Attach the extra
billet or the half billet in the same manner as other billets.
Notes
1. Larger rafts can be built using the same construction principles.
Leave space between the PlastiSpan flotation billets equal to at
least 50% of billet width to allow space for waves to roll through. Locate flotation billets at the end or sides of the structure
for a more stable raft.
2. Where icy conditions or floating debris are expected, be sure
the skirt boards on the sides of billets extend below the water
line when the dock is floating without a load to prevent damage
to the billets.
