Fequently Asked Questions

How do I assemble it?

Step by step instructions will be included in the package you order.

How long does it take to assemble?

It takes our 16-year-old daughter about 10 minutes to assemble a barrel. Once the barrel isassembled you will need to attach the Amphi bracket to the bottom of your dock with appropriate hardware. The barrel simply slides into the bracket.

How do I store it?

Simply roll your dock out of the water and store it wherever you would normally store your dock, inside or out.

Can I retro-fit my current dock?

Of course you can and dock owners all over North America are retro-fitting their docks with the Roll-In-Float (RIF) system. The RIF retro-fit packages come to you in single or double barrel kits (enough for 1 or 2 barrels to be assembled). With simple “handyman” tools and our step-by-step instructions you will be able to retro-fit your existing dock quickly.

What tools will I require to assemble the barrels?

Needle Nose Pliers

Crescent Wrench

5/8” Drill Bit

Corded or Cordless Drill

6’ Nylon String

Small Strip of Tape

Wired Coat Hanger or Rigid Wire

Optional Tools:

Where do I source the barrels for my dock if I choose not to purchase them from Amphi-Dock?

We created the barrel assembly kit so our customers wouldn’t have to pay exorbitant shipping prices as the barrels are large and bulky. This does mean some assembly is required but don’t worry, you don’t need serious handy-man skills to assemble. We direct our clients to source barrels from anywhere local. Typically you can find them on sites like Facebook Marketplace, kijiji, Craigslist, Offerup etc.. We love the fact that our clients can up-cycle a single use food grade barrel for their dock.

Is there a warranty? How long does it last?

We offer a 5-year warranty on parts. We would expect the parts to last 20+ years.

How much weight can it support?

Net floatation per barrel kit is approximately 420lbs. (Keep in mind the weight of your dock)

How much does it cost to ship?

We created the barrel assembly kit so our customers wouldn’t have to pay exorbitant shipping prices to have barrels shipped. Please refer to our shipping calculator when ordering. Note: we strive to keep shipping prices as low as possible.
