Dock anchoring must be adjustable to match the changing water levels. There are numerous styles of anchoring that can be used based on the dock style and water behavior. Allow us to help identify the best option for you.

Cable Anchoring: This method consists of cables connecting the dock to the shore or a weighted anchor point. Winches can be used to allow for adjustment and positioning of the dock.

Pile Anchoring: Pile anchoring keeps a dock in a fixed location while built in rollers or pile slides allow the floating dock to move upwards and downwards with changing water levels.

Stiff Arm: Stiff arms are heavy duty articulating arms that attach to the shore and the dock, allowing for upward and downward movement with changing water levels.

Bumpers offer protection for both the dock and boat. All Wahoo Bumpers are made out of black rubber or blow-molded polyethylene.

P-bumper: This type of bumper is mounted on the edge of the dock to provide surface protection between the dock and watercraft.

Pole Bumper: Pole bumpers face outward from dock poles, preventing watercraft from contacting the metal surfaces.

Dock cleats are aluminum fixtures used to moor a boat. They are typically mounted near the edge of the boat slips, on the deck surface, or on the roof poles.

Aluminum: Aluminum decking stays cool even on the hottest summer days. It is extremely durable and provides a slip-resistant decking surface. Wahoo created its own line of aluminum decking called AridDek, a water tight and maintenance free decking.

Concrete: Great for commercial applications or heavy wave action, concrete decking is another option which can be implemented into a Wahoo Dock.

Ipe hardwood: Also called Brazilian Walnut, it is one of the densest hardwoods available, lasting up to 25 years. Ipe is strongly resistant to fire, bugs, and mildew, making it an ideal choice for marine environments.

Wood Composites: When you want the look of wood without the expense or maintenance, wood composites can be the perfect solution. Wahoo Docks offers TimberTech PVC decking materials for those interested in a durable, high-quality, composite decking.

Dock floats are generally mounted to the base of the mainframe structure. Wahoo Docks uses foam filled PermaFloat drums, which meet the Corps of Engineers regulations. Using in house software, float size and mounting location are chosen to ensure optimal buoyancy and level floatation.

Gangways bridge the gap between a dock and the shoreline. They can come in any length, spanning up to 120 feet before requiring additional support. This allows floating docks to be anchored in deeper water that is unaffected by low water levels.

Boat Lifts: Boat lifts are hollow plastic tanks which are pumped with air to lift boats out of the water for protection and storage.

Personal Watercraft Lifts: Unlike larger boat lifts, personal watercraft lifts are generally floating plastic platforms with smooth rollers for watercraft loading and unloading. Small watercraft are capable of being driven or winched onto these lifts to be completely removed from the water.

The mainframe is the skeleton frame of the dock. Wahoo Docks uses marine-grade aluminum for our dock mainframes.

Wahoo Docks offers a selection of different style railing, including: aluminum pickets, clear and tinted glass rails, wood, stainless steel cables, and aluminum 2-line railing.

Gable Roof: A gable roof has two sloping sides that meet in the center, generally with the front and back left open.

Hip Roof: A hip roof has all four sides sloping towards a center line.

Gable-and-a-Half / Hip-and-a-Half Roofs: These designs use the traditional Gable or Hip style, but add an additional section mounted perpendicular to the main roof. This offers an attractive style, while providing additional coverage over the dock surface.

Upper Deck: An upper deck offers additional usable space on a dock. Where permitted, jump platforms and roof shades can also be incorporated into the upper deck.

A boat slip is a cutout in a dock for parking your watercraft. Generally, there are two parallel fingers, narrow dock platforms, on either side of the boat providing protection.
