Place joist into the frame. For 4x8 Dock, place a 47”
long joist(M). For 8x8 Dock place a 95” long joist(N).
The procedure for installing joists is the same for 4x8 and 8x8 frames.
The only difference are the number of joists added to the bottom of
the frame. The 4x8 dock receives 2 joists and the 8x8 receives 5 joists.
For 4x8 Docks measure 24 ¼”from the edge of the joist to the outside of the truss frame
and position truss here. This will ensure that there is a structure to mount the float to.
Use vice grips or a clamp to hold the joist against the truss frame.
