We recommend that you use our drawings to build your own pontoon but of course you don't have to. We have supplied floats to people to build their own pontoon since 1980. Here are just some of the pontoons people have built themselves. If the pontoon you would like to build is not listed in the above standards, please let us know as we probably have a drawing for the size you would like. We can supply a kit for any size pontoon.
