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 within 3 basic applications. Each
application can vary in freeboard height (water level
to decking) to match our customers, 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.
Example applications:
COMMERCIAL – suitable for a
marina with plenty of varied size boat traffic. SUPERIOR – suitable for larger
lakes with harsh wave activity in exposed locations. REGULAR – medium to small sized
lakes with coves and bays, which are more protected
from wave action from larger bodies of water.
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.
FLOATS Our customers want stability, reliability
and longevity in a dock float this is why you will
not see any barrel shaped floats or foam billets underneath
our docks. 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 EPS foam
and carry a 12-year warranty.
