Not all dock systems work for all shorelines - some work better than others. For certain waterfronts, especially lakes with fluctuating water levels, a floating dock may be exactly what you need. Floating docks do exactly what you'd expect, they float on the water instead of standing on the bottom of the lake.
How Does it Work?
A floating dock is a platform with air-tight buoyant pontoons that displace water. This allows the dock system to float on top of the water. The pontoons are built of sturdy material. Most of the time they are filled with polystyrene, which allows the dock to keep floating if something were to puncture the drum. Floating docks are typically connected to the shoreline by a platform and can be easily installed and removed. They are also anchored to the body of water to ultimately keep them in place.
Benefits of a Floating Dock
Floating docks are popular for many shorelines because it is super easy to add and remove parts of the dock. This allows you to change the design whenever needed. Floating docks are the perfect fit for shorelines that have deep or fluctuating water levels. The flotation of the dock allows your dock to adjust with water levels. Floating docks are quite the attractive feature that will make your shoreline look great after all.
