The Great Dock Migration

"By George, what is that going down my river? That guy is simply off his rocker, what is he driving? Is it a house? Is it a dock? Is it a boat?"

"Why, I'm glad you asked. It is merely the Great Dock Migration."

"The what?"

Ok, we are just being silly here, but this is a real photo of us moving a dock down a private canal.

Many people often ask us what happens when they don't have a lot of space for heavy equipment and dock building on their waterfront. It may be a case of you living in a subdivision where you can touch your neighbor's house with a broomstick, or it may just be that you have a pretty remote site with a cliff.

We simply build at the nearest accessible site, attach our trusty little outboard motor to the dock, and "volia" we have the Great Dock Migration! So before you think you just can't have a floating dock where you are, think again! We have ways of making it happen!

Happy Dock Building!

Our floating docks are environmentally friendly, and manufactured by companies that embrace "green" principles of stewartship of our environment.

A floating dock is a platform or ramp supported by pontoons. These are usually joined to the shore with a ramp that rests upon the dock on rollers, to adjust for the vertical movement of the dock. The dock is usually held in place by vertical poles embedded in the soil under the water or by anchored cables.

Frequently used in small boat marinas, this type of dock maintains a fixed vertical relationship to watercraft secured to it, independent of tidal, river, or lake elevation.
