Traditional Floating Docks
Cottage Docks specializes in building large one piece construction docks
We love floating docks. The designs are limitless. They are perfect for deep water, fluctuating water levels (as low as 1 ½”) and soft lakebed type conditions. Cottage Docks can build virtually any design possible. Each application can vary and Cottage Docks can adapt. We can adjust to any freeboard height (water level to decking) to match our customer’s needs. All our floating docks are built for maximum per sq ft buoyancy and stability. Any dock 10 ft and wider will have added floatation centered down the dock.
Every location is unique. It is important to take into account all factors such as prevailing wind, boat traffic, etc. Cottage Docks will go over these factors with you to ensure that you have the right fit for your new dock system.

Cottage Docks uses ONLY rotationally moulded flotation shells that are manufactured from virgin polyethylene resin. This non-contaminate contains UV inhibitors and carbon black pigment to protect against ultra violet degradation. The shells will not sink or contaminate the water, even if punctured. This strong, durable material is resistant to environmental stress and cracking. The bottom line is, this seamless, one-piece construction dock float is unmatched against any other floating system. For further protection, all of our dock floats are filled with closed cell EPS foam and carry a 12-year warranty.

In its natural, unfinished state, it has a richly textured, tactile grain combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones ranging from light amber to deep honey brown. No man-made material can duplicate the depth of cedar's natural luster. Western Red Cedar contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay.
