1. What is an Accudock float section made out of?
Each float consists of a high density polyethylene plastic, which completely encapsulates a block of EPS foam.
2. How do they connect together?
Accudock has a series of aluminum connectors that fit into a marine grade aluminum frame which surrounds the perimeter of each float section as show in the images below. They can connect together in any configuration you can think of.
3. How much do they weigh, and how much can they hold?
Due to our manufacturing design, our float sections are extremely lightweight with a high buoyancy rate. Please look at our Specifications Page for more information.
4. What is the surface texture?
The surface is the same plastic as the sides, and bottoms. It is a non-skid levant texture finish which is a slightly raised texture providing excellent traction. The surface is not slippery when wet, and because of the white in color, it is cool to the touch even during hot summer months.
5. Who installs them/ how difficult are they to assemble?
Although we can offer installation through independent contractors who are familiar with our product, most of our customers install their own docks. Please look at our Installation Page for further answers, or feel free to Contact Us for more specific installation questions.
6. What is needed to maintain the docks over the years?
Unlike wooden docks that need to be treated, and replaced throughout the years, Accudock offers a low-maintenance durable dock system that can be cleaned easily and will last for years to come.
7. What type of attachment method should I use?
The Accudock team will be happy to work with you on which attachment method would be the best fit for your location. Contact Us for help, or take a look at the Methods of Installation Page.
8. What type of Warranty do you have?
Accudock is reconstructing our warranty information, please check back for more details.
9. How does it ship?
Accudock uses large freight companies to ship products nationally and internationally. We take pride in packaging our floating docks on pallets or in boxes to ensure your order gets to you in the same condition it leaves us. Usually it will arrive to your location on a large semi-trailer, if clearance into your location is an issue, please let us know.
10. How does the Accudock handle salt water conditions?
The Accudock warehouse is in Pompano Beach, FL - right off the Atlantic Ocean, and has had floating docks in the intercoastal waterways for over 15 years, free of any problems. Our marine grade aluminum is not submerged in the water, and therefore not consistently subjected to corrosion.
