Floating docks are a great solution for certain applications. As opposed to a fixed dock, floating docks are not considered permanent installations and are generally more simple and basic than a fixed dock because they do not require structural pilings.
Floating docks can be used as a stand-alone dock or in conjunction with your fixed dock for a floating platform that allows for easy mooring of vessels or a loading platform for guest to enter end exit vessels. Floating docks can also be removed from the water for cleaning or protection from a storm.
Floating docks are typically a more budget friendly option when compared to a fixed dock because they usually do not require the specialty equipment, permits or engineering that a fixed dock requires. Furthermore, the construction of a floating dock is generally easier because it can be constructed on-land and in some cases pre-fabricated before delivery to your property.
