How stable are floating docks. Don they move around when the water gets rough?
Yes, floating docks naturally move more that stationary ones, but they have distinct advantages over stationary docks. Floating docks can be used in situations involving deep water, changing water levels, and problematic bottom conditions, while stationary docks cannot. And when a stationary dock shifts, torques or sinks under stress, it stays that way until somebody repairs or readjusts it. A floating dock will naturally return to its optimal condition as it adapts to the changes in the water. Eco-Flote™ docks are more stable than others on the market, but with any floating system there are simple guidelines to follow to ensure maximum stability. First of all floating docks are recommended for areas that are protected from extreme weather conditions that can harm your dock or compromise your safety. Secondly, it is important to design a dock using the widest sections possible and to arrange them in a “T” or “L” shaped configurations. It is best to avoid “straight runs” and create as m
