Since 1975, we have been studying the
effects of wind, wave, ice and fluctuating water levels on the coastline
of Georgian Bay docking systems. We have developed what we believe to
be a superior product in a floating dock system…
It involves the uses of heavy wall
steel pipes, which are carefully fabricated into floatation pontoons
for our docks .All steel surfaces are sandblasted and painted with specialized
marine epoxy paint.
The sub-structure for the decking is
usually a pressure treated 2"x 10" joist which is fastened to steel
tabs on the pontoon by means of a 3/8" dia. plated bolt.
Cedar or pressure treated lumber is
then screw nailed to the joists with supports every 24 inches.
2" x 8 " side skirts are fastened to
the dock to prevent damage to your boat and are then fitted with "Dockedge"
patented bumper moldings.
Your choice of cleats is installed
before delivery!
These systems have a life expectancy
of 25 to 30 years when installed by our crews.
We warrant the docks for a period of
five years.
These docks are among the most stable
floating docks available … in fact in most cases; people mistake them
for a fixed system.
Fixed shore dock systems
Our shore deck systems are also fabricated
with a steel understructure, which is drilled where practical into the
bedrock with minimum 2 " dia. solid pins.
A steel framework is then fitted to
the pins, which is intended to support the decking and the ramp systems
to the floating dock where applicable.
We have tested these methods time and
again in both commercial and residential applications for twenty-five
years, and found them to have permanence, which is unparalleled!
