What is the maximum spacing for a monopole dock? How heavy should the joists be?
The spacing recommendations for the monopole system are shown on a data sheet on the PEARSON PILINGS web site. The distance between the monopole drives the wood section, i.e. a 12’ pile spacing would use 3 sets of 2×12’s or 3×10’s, a 15’ spacing would use 3×12’s, a 10’ spacing would use 3×8’s, etc. These are just examples and the local building codes should apply.
