MultiNautic 5′ x 10′ Floating Dock w/ Western Cedar Decking

MultiNautic 5′ x 10′ Floating Dock w/ Western Cedar Decking

With the Multinautic QPF-495 Aluminum Dock Series, it’s easy to create the dock of your dreams that fits your needs. This simple collection lets you combine 5 ft. x 10 ft. dock sections in a straight line, side by side, or in an “L” shape to adjust to your design. It’s the perfect dock unit for a light frame assembly that offers either a low or medium freeboard, depending on your favorite nautical activities and the specifications of your shoreline. Simply choose stationary and/or floating ensembles, with or without cedar decking. Each unit is modular, allowing you to choose the exact configuration that will suit your needs. Combining 3 or more dock sections in a floating layout will allow you to moor a boat up to 25 ft. long. Its sleek and uniquely designed aluminum frame system lets you insert mooring cleats (and other accessories) in the top track, without drilling into the decking, and relocate them as needed. Decking boards can be assembled as panels that can be quickly removed from the subframe for easy handling year after year. The included assembly hardware for the frame is made of stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized steel.

This page presents the 5 ft. x 10 ft. Medium Freeboard Aluminum Floating Dock Kit, Model QPF-495, with Cedar Decking, product 21569. With its medium freeboard of roughly 16 in. above water, you will easily board a boat from this dock.

PLANNING GUIDE

 ASSEMBLY GUIDE

Description

• As mentioned, you may need to combine fixed and floating sections depending on the shoreline. A floating dock system must include a semi-floating ramp that you will create with a floating kit. Stationary docks will be suitable until you reach a water depth of 4 ft.
• For a stable floating dock layout, transform one floating dock kit into a semi-floating dock using only 2 of the 3 supplied floats. Switch the 3rd float to a second floating dock for a total of 4. All subsequent dock sections will have 3 floats each.
• Before your semi-floating ramp, install enough stationary docks to reach further out to deeper waters, leading to the floating area. To start a layout with a semi-floating dock, use short posts (#11007) to connect it to the shore, complementing anchor chains.
• This medium freeboard floating dock unit includes three 24 in. L x 60 in. W x 12 in. H foam-filled dock floats, each with 500 lbs. of buoyancy. Long hexagonal bolts with oversized flat washers are included for secure installation.
