Yep D, 2 years Oct 10th.
They are 16 ft 4x6 s set 4 ft in the ground with 320 lbs of concrete on each pole. Our soil is very sandy so easy digging, no rocks and no frost line to worry about. I probably could have gotten a Pole Barn company to build it , but its a weird size. 11x28. The steel trusses they use now are pretty slick,but to custom make the for 11 ft would have been too much. Also I wanted a 4 ft overhand on the dock side to cover the walk from rain and sun and built out of pressure treated wood.
I think I have around $2500 worth of lumber and couple of hundred dollars in nails and screws. I did manage to buy a nail gun and a palm nailer for the project.
