FLOE docks are designed to be stable and withstand harsh weather conditions. The bridge-like truss structure allows waves to pass through instead of pounding against the dock, and FLOE’s double-brace system adds rigidity to help eliminate side-to-side sway.
FLOE docks are made of heavy-duty, marine-grade aluminum, which is naturally resistant to rust. Plus, the docks and components are specifically engineered to be corrosion-resistant.
Yes! FLOE’s Easy-Level™ System allows top-side leveling without ever entering the water. All you need is a cordless drill, or FLOE’s leveling tool. In addition, FLOE’s Quick-Attach system makes it easy to attach sections and accessories.
Yes, FLOE docks are modular and can be assembled and broken down quickly without tools. Additionally, FLOE’s roll-in functionality makes it easy to install and remove docks seasonally. Each section of the FLOE dock is equipped with high-density polymer wheels, so you can install and remove the dock with just one person.
FLOE aluminum docks feature a baked-on anti-skid surface to minimize slipperiness. Plus, the marine-grade aluminum naturally resists the growth of mold and mildew, which can make wood docks slippery. However, the presence of water, rain or moisture can still create a slick surface, just like any other dock material.
Yes, FLOE docks are available with an Aluma-Grain™ Chestnut finish that mimics the look of real wood. You still get all the benefits of maintenance-free aluminum decking, but with a patented powder coating that provides the warm, natural look of wood.
With proper maintenance and seasonal care, FLOE dock systems can last for 25 years or more, even in tough conditions. FLOE’s aluminum construction resists corrosion and the modular design allows for the replacement of individual parts, rather than the entire system, for an extended lifespan.
Yes, FLOE docks include a 15-year limited warranty against cracking, peeling and deterioration, as long as the docks are not subject to misuse, negligence or extreme weather events.
No, you cannot buy FLOE docks directly online. They are sold exclusively through a professional dealer network. FLOE dock dealers handle sales and installation, to ensure you get the correct product and professional support.
