1.How heavy is it?
Very Light, on average a 4’ x 16’ Aluminum dock section weighs – 180 lbs. With a wheel kit, you will never lift more than half the weight of the dock section.
2.Is there any maintenance?
A 4’ x 16’ Aluminum dock section requires “NO” maintenance. The wheel kit will need to be greased once a year.
3.How do you adjust the legs?
Legs are independently and telescopically adjustable from the top of the dock. Simply remove cap on top of deck and either use leg adjusting tool or 1 ¼” socket with cordless screw gun.
4.Is it easy to put in and take out?
A typical system (3 docks and a ramp) can be installed and/or removed in about an hour.
5.Can it hook up to an existing sea wall or dock?
Yes to both. Affordable Boat Docks makes sea wall brackets. We can also manufacture special brackets to mate to your existing dock, upon request.
6.How do I store it for winter?
Simply roll up on land. Do not cover and do not store upside down.
7.Can I move sections around to change Shape? (IE: from a “T” to an “L”) If so, do I need to buy any other attachments or drill any holes etc.?
Our docks are completely modular. You can change configurations at any time, within minutes. A 9/16” wrench is all that is required simply re-position Uni-Clamps to desired location and click dock in place. No additional parts are required. No holes need to be drilled. Change it as often as you like.
8.Do you have accessories? And how do they attach?
Yes! We have benches, bumpers, ladders, kayak racks, Adirondack chairs, bars, and more. All accessories simply click on the side of the dock (9/16” wrench required).
9.I have a unique situation. Do you do custom work?
Yes! Please reach out to us, and we will be happy to work with you.
10.Is there a warranty?
Yes! We offer a 15 year limited warranty.
