Boat Docks Installation

The placement of pilings is undeniably the most crucial aspect of constructing a custom boat dock. These foundational elements serve as the backbone of the structure, providing the necessary support and stability.

Careful consideration must be given to factors such as water depth, soil conditions, tidal variations, and local regulations when determining the precise location and spacing of your pilings. A meticulous approach is required to ensure that the pilings are strategically positioned to bear the weight of the dock and withstand the forces of nature. Properly placed pilings prevent excessive movement, reduce the risk of structural damage, and ensure the long-term durability of your boat dock. With the expertise of Priority Marine Construction’s experienced professionals, the precise placement of pilings guarantees a solid and reliable foundation for your custom boat dock, offering peace of mind and a safe haven for your watercraft.

WEARDECK™ Deck Material

We are a premier provider of WEARDECK™ decking products. WEARDECK™ stands out from traditional materials due to its unique composition as a GLAS-POWERED™ composite lumber. Unlike typical wood-based products, WEARDECK™ incorporates the advanced Owens Corning Advantex® Fiberglas™ technology to provide exceptional strength and durability.

The core strength of WEARDECK™ lies in its wood-free design, which is further reinforced by the powerful Advantex® Fiberglas™ technology. This combination allows WEARDECK™ to withstand high live loads and heavy usage without compromising its structural integrity. The internal structure of WEARDECK™ is optimized to deliver superior performance and longevity, ensuring that it remains durable for a lifetime.

By incorporating GLAS-POWERED™ composite lumber technology, WEARDECK™ offers a reliable alternative to traditional materials.

WEARDECK™ also offers eight different sizes of decking profiles: Standard Deck Board 5/4×6″, 5/4×8″, 2×6″, 2×4″, 2×8″, 2×10″, 1/2×6″, and 1/2×10″.

We also offer TREX Deck Material

WEARDECK™ and Trex stand as distinct decking products due to their contrasting composition. WEARDECK™ exclusively consists of synthetic ingredients, while Trex incorporates a combination of organic and synthetic materials.

Trex decking falls in the category of composite decking because the boards include wood fibers and plastic. The majority of Trex deck boards are composed of recycled ingredients, with the wood content sourced from reclaimed wood and sawdust, and the plastic component derived from materials such as shopping bags.

Trex offers four different decking lines, categorized into three distinct tiers: Good (Trex Enhance® Basics), Better (Trex Select® and Trex Enhance® Naturals), and Best (Trex Transcend®). Each decking collection differs in terms of pricing, scratch resistance, color choices, and edge shape options.

Pressure Treated Lumber

We use marine-grade, pressure-treated lumber, which is specially treated for a saltwater environment. The types of lumber we use are slash, longleaf, shortleaf, and loblolly. Construction and design professionals prefer to use Southern Pine Lumber because it has a low amount of knots, which further increases its strength. We pass each piece of lumber through a router. We then make sure that each piece of lumber is smooth from sanding.

Boat Dock Styles

There are several popular boat dock styles that cater to different preferences and waterfront environments. Here are a few examples:

Floating Dock
Stationary Dock
Pipe Dock
Finger Dock
Multi-Level Dock
Cantilever Dock
Hybrid Dock

These are just a few examples of popular boat dock styles. Each style has its own advantages and considerations, and the choice depends on factors such as water conditions, personal preferences, budget, and regulatory requirements.

Constructing Your Boat Dock

Some of our construction features include the use of all stainless steel screws on all decking. 5/8″ hot-dipped galvanized bolts on all structural members, sills which are double bolted. 2×10′s and joists, which are 2×8′s, 16″ on center and doubled on exterior bands. We pride ourselves on using the highest quality materials available. Our Pinellas County waterfront boat docks have a beautiful appearance and are highly durable. We consider many factors during the construction planning phase of the job. The most important factors are:

Length of your current or potential boat
Subjectivity to current and tidal flows
Wind and wave exposure
The relative stability of the water level
Stability of the shoreline
Current code restrictions and requirements
Aesthetics

Long-Lasting

Because your custom dock is outside, we make sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that it will be long-lasting. All of our boat docks are naturally weather-resistant and designed to stand up to the harshest weather conditions. This is especially important in the Tampa Bay and Pinellas County waterfront areas because of our hurricane season.
