Floating Docks are the perfect solution for sites
with deep water, significant water fluctuation or
where the bottom is too soft for wheeled or standing
docks. If your site is exposed to heavy waves or boat
wakes, a "U" shaped floating dock works best. Decking
choices are almost unlimited. Anchoring is done through
cables, stiff arms, ramps, or sea anchors in many
different combinations.
While our floating docks may generally be frozen in without damage, floating docks may be damaged where there is significant ice movement. The most stable floating dock configurations have a "T" or "L" layout or have fingers jutting from the sides. St. Lawrence Docks offers a service program that includes winterization.
Flotation
Our floats are
manufactured from linear, virgin polyethylene resin
containing UV inhibitors and carbon black pigment
to protect against ultra violet degradation. This
resin offers a balance of toughness, rigidity, environmental
stress, crack resistance and low temperature impact
performance unmatched by any other material. A nominal
wall thickness of .15" is standard on all floats unless
a specific wall thickness is requested. The polyethylene
resin used is a food grade material in compliance
with the FDA Title 21. As a food grade material, the
float will not contaminate the waterway.
There are five distinctive options for your floating
dock. Choose from our Wood
