Premium Floating Docks from Patriot Docks provide maximum buoyancy for residential settings. If your water levels fluctuate regularly or if your water depth exceeds 6-8 feet, a floating dock is the ideal shoreline solution. These docks adjust seamlessly to match the water level, with no need for adjustments in rivers, tidal waters, or reservoirs. Let the dock do the work with Patriot Docks' floating dock packages. Now, every Premium Floating Dock package combines the convenience of our Low Profile dock kits with our premium dock floats to create the best floating docks on the market.
What is the difference between a Low Profile Floating Dock and Premium Floating Docks?
- Same modular aluminum frames
- Same low profile design to stay close to the water
- Same 4×4 decking panels that drop into the frame
- Same heavy-duty foam-filled float drums
- Same hinge action to release tension
Premium Floating Docks add Side Stability Floats to every frame in order to:
- Increase buoyancy
- Increase frame width for stability
- Protect your boat as a bumper
What are the benefits of a floating dock?
- No adjustment required when water levels change
- No limit to water depth
- Versatility in a wide range of environments and applications
Designing or upgrading to a floating dock has never been easier. Patriot Docks offers complete dock packages that you can choose, buy, and have shipped directly to your residence for easy assembly.
Low Profile floating dock frames are state-of-the-art. They are professionally engineered to be not only strong but also lightweight; rigid but balanced; stable but hinged. The aluminum frame design prevents rust, is light enough for easy winterization, and is simple to handle. Piling sleeves offer a wide range of anchoring options, though the anchoring system itself is not included due to the variety of applications possible. These sleeves allow you to anchor your dock with pilings, anchor weights, stiff arm bars, cables, and more.
Each Patriot Docks' Premium Floating Dock Package includes:
- A ramp to the shore
-
Hinges every 16 feet (per recommendation)
- 4′ x 8′ aluminum dock frames
- (2) foam-filled 24″ x 48″ x 12″ floats per floating frame
- 4′ x 4′ drop-in decking panels
- (4) Piling sleeves for your anchoring system
-
48″ Gray Side Stability floats along the outside edges
All assembly hardware
Add a Low Profile hinge kit to the shore end of the frame if this dock is being mounted to a shoreline structure or another dock.
