All of our permanent docks are built upon 8 in. steel pipe piles. Depending upon lake-bottom conditions, piles are driven to refusal or drilled and anchored into bedrock. Afterwards, all piles are filled with concrete for additional strength. History has proven that when Mother Nature wants something bad enough, she’s going to take it. That is why we through-bolt all of our skirt boards along the outside perimeter of our docks using a nut and washer on the back side. Constructed with steel framework and welded thoroughly, our decks are built to withstand the test of time. We offer wood or composite decking to complete the look of your new dock.
