OUR DOCKS: RESIDENTIAL FLOATING LAYOUTS

PLATFORM LAYOUTS

Platforms are used for a wide variety of purposes including swimming, fishing, boat docking, and many other uses. Platforms offer the most economical dock available and their sizes vary greatly depending on needs, aesthetics and regulatory restrictions.

U-SHAPED LAYOUTS

U-Shaped docks offer an economical means in which to provide secure anchoring for a watercraft. The major drawback to a U-Shaped dock is that it provides little recreational area or space to hold items that could be conveniently stored on the dock.

U-SHAPED W/ PLATFORM LAYOUTS

The U-Shaped with Platform (Wide Side) Layout is a very popular style and is basically a U-Shaped dock with a platform connected alongside one or both fingers or the header. The benefit of the platform is that it affords an open area, typically uncovered by a roof, that can be used for recreational or other purposes.

DOUBLE SLIP LAYOUTS

Double Slip docks are a common configuration for owners with two full size boats. Like THE U-Shaped w/ Platform (or, Wide-Side layout), Double Slip docks can have a platform located alongside a finger to provide a large footprint, thereby providing a stable foundation relative to smaller Single-Slip docks and Platforms.

MAIN SLIP/PWC SLIP LAYOUTS

The Main Slip/PWC Slip layout is a popular option because it can house and protect a large boat and multiple PWCs (or jet-skis) while providing a large area suitable for recreation.

CUSTOM LAYOUTS

A Wahoo™ representative works with each prospective dock owner to uniquely design a dock system tailored to their individual needs and tastes. From the smallest free floating platform to the largest marina, Wahoo Docks™ has more experience than anyone to plan, design and build your vision. Regardless of the general design, each Wahoo™ Dock is constructed using high strength, rust-resistant aluminum, structural components and stainless steel fasteners. These materials virtually eliminate maintenance and ensure that our docks are the most durable and aesthetically pleasing docks on the water.

OUR DOCKS: COMMERCIAL FLOATING LAYOUTS

FISHBONE

A Fishbone style dock is a multi-slip dock that has slips on either side of a central walkway. A ‘Fishbone Style’ design is typically the most efficient use of space to allow for the maximum number of slips within an area and the most cost efficient from a price perspective. This layout is typically used when a multi-slip dock extends perpendicular to the shoreline. Anchoring for this style of dock is typically achieved with pilings or cables and dead weights.

E-SHAPED LAYOUTS

E-Shaped layouts align slips along one side of a central walkway. This style is typically used on occasions when a dock runs parallel with the shoreline or other obstruction. Anchoring this style of dock is typically achieved with stiff arms or pilings, although other methods can be used.

CUSTOM COMMERCIAL DOCK LAYOUTS

Using aluminum as the primary construction material affords Wahoo Docks™’ engineers the flexibility to design almost any dock imaginable. We can incorporate a wide variety of features including upper decks and varying roof styles and differing dock shapes. We have designed docks for purposes ranging from marinas and community docks to floating bars and work platforms.

OUR DOCKS: FIXED PILING LAYOUTS

FIXED PILING DOCKS

In certain circumstances, docks are affixed to pilings (steel, wood, concrete, PVC, or other types of pilings). Fixed docks are most commonly used in coastal regions in inland waters where water level changes are not of significant magnitude. The low maintenance features and longevity of a Wahoo Dock™ make it as suitable in fixed dock applications as it is for floating dock uses. As a result, Wahoo™ is becoming an increasingly popular option for fixed dock owners.
