Why do aluminum docks bounce too much in heavy water?
When we first introduced aluminum docks in 1995, we used a lightweight, bolted 6″ frame with aluminum decking. Today our heavyweight 8″ frame with structural bracing and hardwood decking is dramatically beefed up to control objectionable flex; it weighs 50% more than the 6″ frames. We also re-engineered our flotation systems and our aluminum extrusions to make them stronger and stiffer. Our corners are twice as strong as the industry standard.
