There are so many choices for waterfront property owners looking for their next dock system or dock upgrade. One of the biggest choices is the type of system you use. At PolyDock, we appreciate the durability and flexibility of floating dock systems. If you’re considering a dock system this summer, here’s why we think you should look into floating dock systems, too.

Just because your boat sits in the water doesn’t mean it’s cleaning itself. The water itself can cause damage to boat hulls that float for too long, and it can contribute to algae buildup, staining, and other blemishes that affect your boat’s appearance, performance, and value. When algae builds up on your boat dock, it can become a slippery hazard for your family as well.

While it’s important to clean algae once you see it, regular cleaning of your boat and dock will help prevent it from growing in the first place. It also gives you an opportunity to get a closer look at your entire waterfront system and see if anything else needs work. However, you don’t need to contact a professional or use harsh chemicals to ensure that your boat and dock are clean. Here are our tips for cleaning your boat and dock in the best way possible.

The good news for anyone looking into a new or upgraded floating dock system is that there are many materials to choose from now. Unfortunately, that can also be bad news for those that get overwhelmed easily—how do you know which dock decking to pick? There’s no need to panic. A local boat dock dealer can help you find the system that meets your needs as well as one that works with your shoreline. They’ll know materials and construction nearly as well as the manufacturers themselves.

At PolyDock, we happen to like polyethylene as a dock material. We find it gives our floating dock systems the durability they need to perform well on the water consistently. These are some of our favorite qualities of our boat docks.

Your dock is one of the most important features of your waterfront property. It should protect your watercrafts and water-based vehicles while making it easier to get in and out of the water. Installing a floating dock will help you save money on maintenance and improve overall boat safety. Learn about the benefits of floating dock systems and how they can add value to your property.
