What are floating docks, and why should I consider purchasing one?
Floating dock systems are unique dock systems where the decking is attached or built into frames on top of flotation rather than sitting on legs or piles. Floating dock systems use buoyancy to stay on top of the water instead of submerging. They are secured in place using various anchorage systems to keep them from floating away.
This offers several advantages that dock systems with legs or piles can’t offer. One advantage is that the water depth and condition of the bottom are not major concerns. Some water is too deep for sectional dock systems with legs or any dock system on piles to reach, while some bottoms might be too unstable, uneven, rocky, muddy, or fragile to risk relying on legs to support them. The anchors that floating docks use to stay in place allow them to be used in a wider range of spaces compared to other types of docks.
Additionally, floating docks have the advantage of adjusting to dramatic changes in water level, making them ideal for areas with seasonal fluctuations, dock accessories, and features that require electricity and should not be submerged.
What types of floating docks do you offer for sale?
PolyDock offers modular docking systems and floating PWC ports. Both dock modules and ports are rotationally molded from marine-grade polyethylene that looks great, performs well, and is specifically designed for any waterfront condition. These modules are highly durable because they are one hollow piece of polymer. If they sustain damage somehow, there would be nothing inside the floats to leach into and damage the surrounding water.
The tan color of the polymer used in floating docks provides a pleasant walking surface, and it resists harmful UV rays due to its color and the characteristics of the polymers used in its construction. The modules are molded with recessed air pockets underneath them, allowing each dock section to cling to the water’s surface like a suction cup. This feature offers unmatched stability and security for those walking on floating docks.
How do I determine which size of floating dock to purchase?
The size of your boat dock depends on the available space and its intended use. Ask yourself several questions: How much shoreline space do you have available for the dock? Are there any specific local regulations or restrictions regarding dock placement, such as distance from the shore or width limitations? Do you plan to use your dock as a simple walkway out to your boat, or do you have grand plans of transforming it into an outdoor entertainment space for your summer gatherings? Do you have waterfront hobbies other than boating and jet skiing? What kind of boat dock accessories are you hoping to incorporate onto your waterfront, and will you need extra space for those?

Q: How does a modular dock upgrade change day-to-day waterfront life?
A: It lets you create zones for different activities, like tie-up, lounging, swimming, and storage. When the dock fits your routine, it feels like an extension of the property instead of an awkward add-on.
