Galv-a-Dock Benefits

Galv-a-Dock - Our framework is the backbone of the system.

It is unequaled in strength and durability. Our framework features a custom milled tubing size twice the strength of conventional pipe.  It eliminates bending, allows a straight and level dock that provides a longer life. One piece welded steel brackets ensure maximum framework strength. The brackets and tubing are hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust, ensuring it to be a maintenance free system. Zinc-plated steel setscrews are coated with an anti-seize graphite lubricant, that and all of our components being of hot dipped galvanized steel eliminates any chance of frozen screws for years to come.

Galv-a-Dock - Easy installation and removal.

The Galv-a-Dock system became popular because it is so easy to install and remove. Floating the dock on a barrel means you don’t have to get wet to install or remove the dock. This procedure is simple when using our specially designed service tools. These can be viewed on our promotional video.

Float the end of the framework on the barrel and slide the framework tubing into the previously installed bracket. Slide the deck onto the framework and insert the vertical tubing into the bracket. Using a sleeve hammer, pound the structural grade tubing into the ground until firm, then level the section with our leveling jack. It’s that easy!

The only way that is easier to install your dock is to have your authorized Galv-a-Dock dealer install it for you. Our Galv-a-Dock dealers have been selected from the best in service. If they come across any problem or custom-design layout they can’t handle, they have direct access to our engineering staff with over 100 years of combined experience.

Summary of WHAT sets Galv-a-Dock apart from all other docks... 

1. Galv-a-Dock is the most stable dock product.  That comes from the above water steel framework that eliminates side sway, with the vertical posts being
driven into the lake-bed approximately 12" to 16".

2. Due to the rigidity of the tubular framework there has been minimal storm damage from excessive high winds to Galv-a-Dock docks and boathouse structures to date.

3. The Galv-a-Dock boathouse is an alternative protection for boats up to 43' in length, rather than boatlifts that are limited by the boat's excessive weight along with considerable water depth loss from boat lift under water framework. The boathouse provides protection and can be used in soft ground conditions and/or shallower water.

4. The Galv-a-Dock steel framework rigid design allows you to have up to a 10’4" wide super sundeck section without a middle of the deck post to interfere.  Be sure to check with your state DNR agency regarding their width limitations.

5. The above water method of installation allows Galv-a-Dock to be installed in water conditions up to 14' deep, it is ideal in soft ground conditions by adding a base plate. The above water installation method is the fastest way of installing docks or removal while staying dry.

6. The decking, bench, bumpers and dock locker boxes are rotationally molded plastic components, available in white or beige. Due to the design and engineering the plastic decks:

a.  are the coolest decks to walk on because of their light colors.  The air pocket in each deck help it stay cool.

b.  use Galv-a-Dock's molded components which eliminates the possibility of boat damage or individual injuries because there are no exposed sharp metal edges. 

c.  have an aesthetically consistent texture and anti-slip finish consistent in color year after year. 

d.  from Galv-a-Dock last longer than wood decks, are quieter and safer than aluminum decks which can have sharp edges that may cause cuts to individuals.  They do not have the sharp edges that the PVC extruded decking material have because they are not bolted together.

e.  are the most durable decking; it resists boat impact or service wear and tear and is virtually indestructible.
