Yes, our docks are modular, which allows you to add or reconfigure your dock sections over the years. With our Quick Link design, and additional hinges, attaching your docks together is as simple as linking and securing them together.
Whether or not you should install a floating or standing on your waterfront depends on the body of water. For larger lakes, a standing dock will stand up best to rough conditions. Our standing docks have legs that adjust between 1′ – 2′, 2′ – 4′ and 4′ – 8′. If you are on a larger lake where your water depth surpasses 8′ in depth a “hybrid” dock system might be the solution for you. A “hybrid” system is a dock configuration that combines standing and floating section. Floating docks are ideal for locations on smaller lakes, with mucky bottoms and are too deep for dock legs.
Thruflow decking is made out of a UV resistant material which is designed with a slotted pattern to allow air to flow through and will not heat up in the sun. It also has a 360 degree non slip surface, making it the ideal decking for your entire family, even ones with paws.
Everyone should be able to enjoy their CanadaDocks dock kit. Our vast selection of accessories ensures that everyone from every age and ability can enjoy themselves. Getting in and out of the water is easier with our Access Platform, Railings, and Stairs. Our selection of Solar Lights will ensure high visibility from land and water.
