may require additional float sections and/or
connectors. These can be added at any time. |

considerations in mind. The wider the configuration
and with proper anchoring, stability increases. |

materials when anchoring the dock. |
|

Does water
stand on the dock? Is it slippery? |

The top
surface is slightly domed to prevent water from
standing on it. It has a molded in slip resistant
wood grain texture to prevent slipping. |
|
Q |
If a float
section gets a hole will it sink? |

take on some water; however, it will not sink due to
