Expert Designs for Your Unique Waterfront

As expert floating dock builders, we pride ourselves on delivering premium solutions for any shoreline and any budget. Whether you envision a standard layout or a fully custom waterfront oasis, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life with unmatched quality and precision.

The versatility of a floating dock is simply unbeatable for the unique challenges of Ontario’s cottage country. They are the ideal solution for deep water, soft lakebed conditions, and especially for shorelines with fluctuating water levels—performing flawlessly in water as shallow as 3 ½ inches. This adaptability ensures you always have a stable, accessible, and perfectly positioned dock.

At Cottage Docks, our talent truly shines in our custom work. We specialize in constructing beautiful and incredibly solid, large one-piece traditional wood floating docks. We engineer every system for maximum stability and per-square-foot buoyancy, and can customize the freeboard height (the distance from the water to the decking) to perfectly match your boat and accessibility needs. Because every location is unique, our process includes a thorough site assessment where we factor in prevailing winds, boat traffic, and your specific goals to design and anchor a dock system built to last.

Four Essential Ingredients of a Quality Built Wood Floating Dock

Cottage Docks uses ONLY rotationally moulded flotation shells that are manufactured from virgin polyethylene resin. This non-contaminate contains UV inhibitors and carbon black/sandstone 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 Cottage Docks floating docks use Techstar flotation, the #1 float manufacturer in the world. Techstar branded flotation purchased from Cottage Docks is covered by our Exclusive Lifetime Float Warranty for the original purchaser, subject to the full warranty terms.

Western Red Cedar
Why Western Red Cedar? Well, for starters, this highly revered, durable wood is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks, which means anything you build with it will last longer and require less maintenance. Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of Real Cedar. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties.
SUSTAINABILITY – Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way. While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, western red cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. Plus, Real Cedar is sourced from the most sustainable managed forests in the world.
