CUSTOMER TIP: In determining the # of dock floats needed for your project, in general, you can get a good estimate by multiplying the square footage of your floating dock or swim platform by 25 which will give you the total buoyancy weight needed. Then divide this number by the buoyancy rating of the size float you will be using. For example, a 10x10' floating dock = 100 sq ft. 100 sq ft x 25 = 2500 lbs of weight. If you are using 12" floats, the buoyancy of each float is 400 lbs. So 2500 lbs divided by 400 = 6.25 floats (Round up to 7 Dock Floats Needed). In addition, more dock floats will need to be added to support average # of persons you expect to be on the dock or swim platform at one time as well as equipment, boats, etc. Keep in mind, once you get your floating dock in the water, it is going to be difficult to pull it up and add more and adjust position of floats if you miscalculated. In addition, positioning of floats is important in ensuring that areas of the floating dock which will be receiving the most weight bearing are adequately supported with dock floats. For general purposes, freeboard or distance from the top of the dock to the water level averages 14-15" using 12" floats and 16-17" using 16" floats with one of Dock Accents' floating dock kits.

*NOTE: Please contact us for a quote if you wish to use 16" dock floats with your floating dock or customize your order to meet your particular waterfront needs. Also note that 4' wide floating docks are very wobbly and it is not recommended that 4' wide docks be used as a "stand-alone" dock. However, 4' finger piers work well hinged to other units or when adequately secured.

*NOTE: When using composite or 5/4 board decking, stringers should be 16" on center; Standard lumber is placed 24" on center.

Aluminum Floating Dock Systems and Ramps

floating dock aluminum frames ALUMINUM FLOATING DOCKS

FRAMES - Alumadock's exclusive extrusions are constructed out of marine grade aluminum T6-6061 alloy. Aluminum is the ideal material for docks because it is maintenance free and will never rust. Alumadocks mainframe is built out of 8" c channel 3/16" wall aluminum on 24" centers. We consistently use the same heavy wall channel on 24" centers throughout our entire dock system and because of this exclusive feature, there is no other aluminum dock on the market that can compete with Alumadock's strength. We are a firm believer in the fact that " In order to have a good solid house (but in this case a dock), you must have a good foundation." A heavy duty mainframe is essential in the longevity of a boat dock. All weldments are made with state of the art aluminum pulsed digital MIG welding equipment to ensure maximum welding penetration and fusion of alloys. Welders are AWS certified.

SIZE CONFIGURATIONS - ALUMADOCK frames can be made any size you desire.

DECKING: We offer several types of decking to fit your needs. Our most popular decking is CertainTeed's EverNew® premium vinyl decking. EverNew® vinyl decking provides a no-snag surface that's free of nails, splinters or screws, virtually maintenance free, and comes in tan or grey colors. We also offer an interlocking aluminum decking, available in tan or grey, which provides superior strength, durability, and no maintenance.

Aluminum Ramps

aluminum dock ramps and gangways for floating dock systems

Aluminum Gangways are made of 2" x 2" x1/8" and 2" x 4" x 1/8" aluminum tubing constructed 16" on center. This surpasses any competitive gangway in the country in all aspects. A standard size is 4' x 20', but custom sizes are available as well. Alumadock structurally engineered gangways are available in 20', 30', 40', 60' and 80' lengths. Standard widths are 3', 4', and 6' wide but custom sizes are available at no extra cost. Structurally engineered and capable of single spanning great lengths, Alumadock gangways can be used with a wooden, steel or aluminum dock. Alumadock gangways eliminate the dangerous spacing between floating dock modules because of a joint-less, solid floor. Aluminum handrails in either 36" or 42" heights provide handicap accessibility and eliminate the need for any floatation from the beginning of the gangway to the connection at the boat dock. ROTO-molded plastic wheels on a stainless steel axle are available to facilitate movement in and out due to water fluctuation.
