Reasons To Consider Buying Modular Floating Docks

By Kristy Buckner


Modular floating docks are a perfect choice for someone who is looking to get the most out of their waterfront property and not spend a lot in regard to time and money. Modular floating systems offer fast, easy installation in as little as a couple of days instead of possibly weeks with traditional systems.

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 of the modular systems on the market feature materials which look, feel and age like wood, but are splinter free, never need painting or staining, and are nail and screw free. These materials provide the added bonus of being non-slip, skid resistant and impervious to the heat of the sun even on the hottest of summer days.

There are many add-ons that you can use to customize your dock. There are options for storage boxes, swim ladders, fishing pole mounts and more. One of the most popular add-ons is roof systems and swim platforms. Roofs allow you to enjoy your dock for fishing, reading or other activities despite the weather all year long.

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.
