BENEFITS TO PERMANENT DOCK INSTALLATIONS
Permanent docks have a number of benefits to them that make them a great solution for those looking to gain greater access to their local waterways and other bodies of water:
​
-
Robust: One benefit that a permanent dock has over a seasonal dock is that they are more robust than its portable counterpart. This will allow them to withstand frequent movement from fast-moving, choppy, and rough waters.
​
-
Stable: Similarly, permanent docks provide a far more stable platform than seasonal docks in regards to walkability and dockability. If you plan on having a lot of people walk on or dock their boats at once to your dock, then a permanent dock may be the best option for you. Permanent docks offer a great solution for people who have a restaurant or place of business on the water which this situation applies to.
​
-
Quiet: Permanent docks are typically quieter than their portable equivalent as they don't have any moving parts. If a quieter dock is important to you, you might want to consider a permanent dock.
​
-
Wide Range of Choices: Permanent docks also allow more choices if you want to add a boat lift to your dock. No matter the choice that you make, you'll be very pleased with a permanent or temporary dock from Radtke Contractors Inc.
PERMANENT DOCK FAQS
What is a permanent dock?
A permanent dock is sometimes called a fixed dock, since it can be left in the water permanently throughout all four seasons. You should note that a permanent dock, since it can't be adjusted for height, you should only install them if your water level remains consistent.
What is the difference between a permanent and floating dock?
A fixed, permanent dock is a stationary structure that sits on pilings that are driven into the waterbed, whereas a floating dock, as its name implies, rests on top of the surface of the water and is supported by floats/barrels. Whether you need a permanent or floating dock will have a number of factors to consider: including amount of water activity/inclement weather, water depth, and personal preference.
What kind of dock is best for deep water?
If your residential or commercial property has deep water or a mucky bottom, you'll want to opt for a floating dock instead of a permanent dock. A floating dock will make more sense for property owners who need and/or prefer a dock that doesn't require any support structure from the bottom, but rather the shoreline.
