Your waterfront property deserves a spot that gets everyone in the water faster. Whether it's morning laps, afternoon cannonballs, or just floating with a drink in hand, a swim dock turns your lake or river into your personal swimming hole. Our modular dock systems are built for easy installation and designed to fit your shoreline. Pick your setup, assemble it yourself, and start swimming that same weekend.
Our Dock Types
Floating Docks
Floating docks rise and fall with the water level, making them perfect for deeper water or changing conditions. No posts in the ground means less hassle and more flexibility for your swim platform, swim float, or big float for the whole crew.
Stationary Docks
Stationary docks anchor directly to the bed for a rock-solid platform that stays put. Best for shallower water with consistent levels where you want something stable and heavy duty for swimming and lounging.
Build a Dock That Works For You
Every body of water is different, and so is every setup. Choose from straight, L-shaped, or T-shaped layouts depending on how much space you need. Add a swim ladder for easy water access, a boat ramp for launching kayaks and small watercraft, pick your decking (cedar for a classic look, composite or aluminum for low maintenance and durability), and toss on accessories like cleats and bumpers if you're tying up a boat. All our decking offers a slip-resistant surface so bare feet stay steady when wet. Our dock sections connect seamlessly and can be expanded later, so start simple and add on when you're ready.
