ROTATIONAL MOLDED: From height density black virgin polyethylene with UV Inhibitors ensuring the most rugged float possible Wall thickness is a minimum 5/16" and up to 1/2" at fastening points and corner edges, ensuring extremely strong resistance to splits and punctures (400 &550)
RECESSED FLANGES: And center channel allow this versatile float to be used in standard 2’ or 4’ centers. Using standard 2" x 6" lumber the surface of the dock will be situated about 14" above the water. (based on 25 lbs. flotation/sq. ft. of dock). Use 8", 10" or 12" lumber for increased freeboard (550).
1" DRAINAGE PLUG: Has a sloped channel to eliminate water accumulation around the plug. Water can also be added for ballast or to achieve neutral buoyancy when retrofitting old docks and then pumped out after positioning the float (400 &550).
RECESSED CORNERS: Allow clearance for most hardware and nut and bolt heads. This reduces the chance of rub through allowing the float to be positioned tightly into the corners and flush with the edges for maximum stability (550).
