Reasons Why Modular Floating Docks Are A Great Choice

By Kristy Buckner


For those who have waterfront property and want to take advantage of all the fun that can be had by having a boat. Of course a boat means that there is the need of a dock to secure it. Traditional docks are expensive, time consuming to build and require a great deal of regular maintenance. Modular floating docks are a great alternate choice over traditional docks.

Obviously, one of the biggest advantages to floating dock systems is the fact that they adjust to fluctuations of water level. This means that the boat can easily be accessed despite the water level. This makes for an easier and safer environment when boarding and disembarking the boat. Anyone who has ever had their dock flooded over or had to try to step up or down from a boat that was very low against the dock will appreciate this.

The installation of these systems is as simple as possible. In fact, for the most part, it's as easy as drop and float. The units can be attached to each other in any configuration needed, and installation can be completed in a fraction of the time as construction and setting of a traditional option.

Most systems on the market are made of alternative materials that look, feel and age just like natural wood. Of course these materials are free of the limitations that natural materials have. These units are nail and screw free, do not splinter and never need painting, staining or sanding. These units also have he added bonus of having a non-slip surface making the enjoyment of your dock much safer.

There are an abundance of accessories that can make your new dock exactly what you would like it to be. Accessories include swim ladders, coolers, storage boxes and more. One of the most popular choices for accessories is fishing pole mounts and roof systems.

Another popular add-on is party deck docks. These specialized units include cooking grills, coolers, tables and water drinking water tanks. They have safety rails and can accommodate any number of guests for a gathering. The main attraction to these units is that they can be disconnected from the main dock and towed to the middle of lake or harbor for the afternoon. Swim platforms can be added to party deck to offer even more fun.

Modular floating docks offer those who have waterfront property the opportunity to make the most of the time that they have for recreation. They offer easy installation, easy maintenance, and easy customization. With these systems, a person can get the dock that they want, exactly as they want it with less cost and less trouble.
