How to Choose the Right Dock Sections

Considering building a new boat dock? With so many different types of dock sections to choose from, it can be overwhelming to pick the right one.

Why choose vinyl docks?

Our strong vinyl dock design includes a unique center aluminum "U" support to provide a solid feel. These dock sections are much lighter than pine and cooler to walk on. 

Don't fall for super heavy "composite materials" that fade and sag in hot weather. Some competitive docks have lots of holes making them very uncomfortable to walk or lay on. Many vinyl docks squeak - ours doesn't! It's great looking and comes in three colors.

Why Choose Vinyl Dock Sections?

You’ve got that perfect piece of lakefront property that’s just right for your own boat. But you need a dock.

Building your own dock can be very rewarding – but it can be a bit stressful. Between all the different types of materials and boat dock parts available, it’s hard to know what’s worth the price for the value you’re going to get.

Different Types of Boat Docks

Some factors you should take into consideration when you’re building a custom boat dock and trying to pick dock sections are:

• The weight of the decking
• Upfront and maintenance costs
• Rotting
• Overall upkeep

If you’re trying to build your own dock on a budget, consider vinyl dock sections. There are several different types of dock sections on the market, but vinyl has consistently proven to provide high quality at low upfront cost. Vinyl boat dock parts are inexpensive and easily replaceable if portions wear out faster than others due to frequent use.

Vinyl decking is less susceptible to warping, rotting, and splinters over time. Vinyl docks also tend to require less maintenance than wood docks, and don’t need to be sanded or refinished.
