FAQs

Should I choose a floating or fixed dock for my Pittsburgh-area shoreline?  

Floating docks work well in rivers or deeper water where levels change often. Fixed docks—like sectional or wheel-in—are great for stable or shallow lakefronts. Your dealer can help recommend the best fit based on your site.
