Extending the pontoons

Up to now, we’ve only had a couple of  7 ft pontoons because of lack of material and were originally planning to stick 4 stubby bits on each end with a slight upward kick to give us a bit of a ‘shape’ to our craft. 
After lots of  consideration and offering bottles and scrap wood up to the ends of what we've already built, we decided it was too much messing about and would just add an extra 3 ft section to the end of each one.
We turned what bottles we had left into lozenges and made our 2 extra sections exactly the same way as the larger sections.

Putting all this together has now given us the basics of our two ten foot long pontoons.


It's starting to take shape!! (well, at least it's the right length now)
