Designing a dock is one of the first and most exciting steps to materializing it. When considering boat dock designs, you have several options to explore.
How to Design a Dock With a Purpose
The dock’s purpose is as crucial as its design. Will you use it for fishing, boating, a PWC, kayaking, canoeing, swimming or other recreational activities? Or is it for commercial use?
Docks are versatile structures. Their modular design promotes customization opportunities, so you can change the layout, add accessories and tailor them to your requirements.
Private and Public Boat Dock Design Ideas
Custom floating dock configurations are ideal for private and public use in residential and commercial settings.
Floating Docks
Floating docks have modular sections for improved buoyancy to handle fluctuating water levels. Their durable polyethylene and rubber construction is safe, nontoxic and recyclable.
These docks can be accessorized with lights, storage boxes, bumpers, cleats, ladders, railings and slides for fun water activities. Our modular dock configurations are customizable, so you can change the layout and shape to your preference. They’re also easy to install, so you can spend less time on the dock and more time in the water.
Commercial Docks
Shorefront businesses, such as fishing and touring charters, restaurants, hotels and marinas, use commercial docks for various purposes. They accommodate all-sized boats and usually have wider berths so boats can maneuver easily while docking.
Commercial docks are functional, slip-resistant, modular, durable and can be made compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They can handle high foot and boat traffic in all seasons and are available in different shapes to suit your application and needs.
Some potential dock designs for residential and commercial use include F-shape, I-shape, T-shape and L-shape docks. These can be customized by adding different dock sections for added length, visual appeal or both.
Our floating dock configurations offer vast customization opportunities. The EZ Docks team will help you find a custom solution so you can enjoy your dream dock in no time.
