DOCK SYSTEMS : Support Options

Post Heights

We recommend you place your dock 16" above the surface of the water. For Standard Supports remember to include all 4 measurements depicted below to select the proper post length. The Hidden Supports are designed so that the water depth is the only measurement needed to order the correct support.

Bottom Conditions

Different types of lake bottoms require different types of support. Use the diagram below to decide which Bottom Plate or Auger is right for you. In hard sand or gravel you can use either a Hidden Support or Standard Support Assembly with any type of auger or bottom plate. In mud or silt the use of Standard Support Assemblies may be necessary to allow for deep and secure augering of the posts.

Our Hidden Support

Our Hidden Support system features a sleek design that almost disappears under your dock. Made of welded aluminum, it is corrosion and rust-resistant, so you can have peace of mind that it will last for years to come.
