Custom Floating Docks for Ontario Shorelines
Stable, adaptable docks built for changing water levels, ice movement, and real Ontario conditions.
Not All Floating Docks Are the Same
Floating docks are often marketed as a “one-size-fits-all” solution — but Ontario shorelines don’t work that way.
Water depth, bottom conditions, wave exposure, and seasonal changes all affect how a floating dock performs. Without the right design and anchoring strategy, docks can shift, feel unstable, or require constant adjustments.
A floating dock works best when it’s designed specifically for your shoreline, not adapted after the fact.
Why Floating Docks Are Ideal for Ontario Lakes
Reduces stress from ice movement
Modular and expandable over time
Comfortable, level access throughout the season
Adapt to soft, rocky, or uneven lake bottoms
Handles fluctuating water levels
Your Shoreline Determines Your Dock’s Performance
Even though floating docks sit on the water, your shoreline still matters.
Bottom firmness, slope, prevailing winds, and wave action all influence how a floating dock should be anchored, oriented, and reinforced. A design that works perfectly on one lake may fail on another just a few kilometers away.
That’s why every floating dock we build starts with your shoreline, not a standard layout.
Floating Docks for:
✔ Soft or silty bottoms
✔ Rocky or uneven shorelines
✔ Sudden depth changes
✔ Wind-exposed waterfronts
How We Build Floating Docks That Last
Our floating dock systems are custom-built with long-term performance in mind.
Shoreline Assessment
We evaluate depth, bottom conditions, exposure, and seasonal factors before recommending a layout.
Custom Design & Materials
Your dock is built using proven flotation systems and decking options suited to your needs and environment.
Professional Installation
Proper anchoring, alignment, and finishing ensure stability from day one — and year after year.
Decking & Material Options
We offer a range of decking options depending on durability, maintenance preferences, and budget.
Note:
We’ll help you choose materials that make sense for your shoreline — not upsell you on features you don’t need.
Sample options:
✔ Composite decking
✔ Pressure-treated lumber
✔ Cedar decking
