TNT DOCKS FAQ's

A floating dock is a type of removable dock suitable for installation on an ocean, river, pond or lake. Unlike fixed docks, floating docks rise and fall with fluctuating water levels. Floating docks can be made of wood, metal or some types of plastics, like polyethylene. One of the most popular types of floating docks is the modular dock, which allows you to use pre-designed platforms and dock pieces to assemble your ideal docking system. TNT Docks modular floating docks contain secure, air-filled compartments that allow the pieces to float. Other types of floating docks require air-filled barrels or floatation devices that attach to the dock’s underside, enabling it to float.

Installation depends on the type of floating dock you choose. Most TNT Dock floating docks are simple to install with the help of an assistant, or our installation professionals are happy to take care of it for you. This process usually takes about a day.

1. Select and prepare your dock location according to all local laws, codes, and regulations.

2. Install the couplers using the in-water coupler installation tool.

3. Anchor your dock, if applicable, to keep your floating dock in place during turbulent weather or water conditions.

4. Attach your dock to a gangway if desired.

5. Add your chosen accessories, including storage boxes, seats, bumpers, ladders, handrails, and edging, to your floating dock.

6. Enjoy your new dock!
