| Details for Swim raft on wheels Plans
 Free Swim raft on wheels plans - It is a raft, a dock, and even a lounging platform for beach use, thanks to Georgian Bay cottager Sean Nixons amphibious design. Extensive shallows along the shore near their Wasaga Beach–area cottage mean the Nixons must venture out 200 to 250 metres to reach deep water. A shore-based dock was out of the question, so back in 2003 Nixon made this eight- by 10-foot raft as a base for waterskiing, wakeboarding, and general hanging out. Since then, he has improved the design, keeping the 2x6 frame but replacing the original 2x4 spruce decking with lighter 1x6 boards, finishing them and, most importantly, adding wheels to make the raft easier to haul ashore when it is not anchored in the bay. Nixon attached the dock wheels (from Home Depot) to the raft with metal L-brackets, and axles he had made at a local fabrication shop.
