retriever dog ladder help needed

[phishroy]

Thinking of building a dog ladder for my retriever for duck season.
Would appreciate advice and some pictures/ plans from people that have one and built one in order to prevent any mistakes I may make.

We hunt from a floating dock literally. Dock is 8x8x8. And sides are close to water.
We drag it with a boat into the reeds, its just an easier platform to hunt from and work the dog.
Would appreciate advice on materiel and design.
The water is fairly deep in the area we hunt in so even thou we are in the reeds there is no way the dog could push bottom to jump on.

doesn't show up as available on the Canadian website.
can only find it on the us website. will have to call the store and check price and availability.

just go off the phone with cabelas Canada.
they do not stock that item. they said i could try calling cabelas US and get them to ship it over.
but costs would start to rack up.

was hoping i could build something slimier under $50
