FAQs
Why are floating docks ideal for fluctuating water levels?
Floating docks automatically rise and fall with changing water levels, keeping your dock consistently level with your boat and the shoreline. This makes them perfect for waterfronts with seasonal or weather-driven fluctuations.
Are floating docks safe and stable for families?
Yes! ShoreMaster’s floating docks use premium rotomolded floats and precision-welded aluminum frames to create a sturdy, wobble-free walking surface. They’re safe for kids, pets, and guests—even in rougher conditions.
Can I combine floating docks with fixed or sectional docks?
Absolutely. Our modular systems allow floating dock sections to connect seamlessly with fixed (standing or wheel-in) docks. This hybrid layout is ideal for shorelines with varying depths or terrain.
How are floating docks anchored?
Floating docks are secured using anchoring systems like pipe brackets, stiff arms, or winch-and-cable assemblies. Your local ShoreMaster dealer can recommend the best option based on your specific shoreline and water conditions.
How long do ShoreMaster floating docks last?
With proper maintenance, our floating dock systems can last 30+ years. Built with marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel hardware, and UV-stabilized rotomolded floats, they’re engineered for long-term performance in any environment.
