Where to find supplies to float a dock.

I purchased a house two years ago that had a nice 10x10 dock that was built off the backyard into the creek that runs behind my house. The water tends to rise a lot when we get our normal Louisiana thunderstorms and the front legs of the dock were broken when the dock rose too high on the water a few months back. I want to convert the dock into a floating dock and was wondering were I could find industrial size barrels or floating styrofoam blocks around the Baton Rouge/Gonzales area? Any help or experience with this is appreciated.
Google has been helpful in finding some well thought out plans on how to install both, I just have no idea where to look for such things.

Any concrete accessory supplier.
Call Brad Duncan at CS&E in BR. I don't have their office number handy.

we use Styrofoam or plastic coated Styrofoam. I have seen people have trouble with drums. I like Styrofoam bc it cant be sunk by some drunk arse shooting holes in it. I think those big plastic square dock floats work good if in a safe area where no one will shoot them. I saw a camp where someone shoot all the floats on one side and sunk it.

Styrofoam has been the route I am planning to go. My dock is in a neighborhood, so I don't have to worry about someone shooting at it lol.
