Latitudes Decking can be used as dock planking, but it cannot be used for any structural support members. Standard Latitudes deck boards should be installed on joists spaced 16″ on-center. Latitude Marine decking is thicker and is designed for joists spaced 24″ on-center. Both Latitudes Decking and Latitudes Marine Decking can be used in dock and marine applications provided that they are not continually submerged in water.

Latitudes Decking can be used as dock planking, but it cannot be used for any structural support members. Latitudes deck boards should be installed on joists spaced 16″ o.c. Some docks are built with supports 24″ on-center or greater. This would need to be adjusted when using Latitudes. Latitudes decking can be used provided that it is not continually submerged in water.
