The D.H. Aluminum Dock Frame
Ease of Installation
Gone are the days when dock installation meant a grueling and backbreaking job. Since each section consists of three pieces, one person can install the D.H. Aluminum Frame Dock System or two people can complete the job with very little time and effort. The simple design of the male/female connecting hardware allows the sections to easily fit together. The only tools required are a ratchet to tighten the setscrews on the pipe brackets, and a level.
We have designed our aluminum frame sectional dock with ease of installation, stability, strength, versatility, longevity and sleek good looks in mind. Each dock section consists of either the 4’x10’ or 5’x10’ aluminum frame, two drop-in decking panels (constructed with Cedar, Ipé or Brock Vinyl), pipes, bases, connecting hardware and dock post caps.
Versatility
Any design or configuration is possible with the D.H. sectional dock. There are no limitations on length or platformm size, and you can change your mind. Need more room at the end? Add extra sections to your platform. Bought another boat? Add a slip. Your D.H. Dock grows and changes as you do.
Stability
There is not a more stable dock available than the traditional sectional dock, supported by pipes and bases. At D.H. Docks & Tracks, each 10’ section is supported by strong, 1 1/4” I.D. schedule 40 galvanized pipes and 11“ cast aluminum bases for maximum stability. Others may brag that thier pipe casting will not allow the support tubing to tilt more than 1/4″ – thus eliminating the need for a large base. Our Extruded Aluminum Pipe Brackets allow for ZERO tilt, and we STILL give you bigger bases.
Styles
Ipé is a strong, dense, and hard, Iron Wood. Others may call their decking “ironwood” but we use only genuine Iron Woods brand Ipé, which will naturally resist wear, rot, splintering, termites, fire, chemicals, and virtually every threat imaginable . . . beautifully.
Highest Decay Resistance
Durability rating by the U.S. Forest Labs of 25 years plus!
Natural Wood Product
Ipe does not contain any harmful chemicals.
Low Maintenance
Left unsealed, Ipe will weather to a handsome silver patina. You can choose to periodically apply a sealer or stain to maintain the rich natural color.
The Cedar Decking panels are built of the finest cedar, which is known for being very dense and long-lasting as well as extremely smooth.
The panels are screwed together with non-corrosive screws, as well as glued, all from the bottom side of the panel, leaving the surface completely smooth and free of screws and screw holes.
Care and craftsmanship are evident in the way every board on every dock is sanded and beveled to a silky smooth finish.
The simple lines of the D.H. Docks & Tracks frame and the drop-in panels give this dock a sleek, clean look.
Brock Vinyl Decking is manufactured from a special high- impact, weather-resistant vinyl compound. Extensive testing has proven this material to be ideally suited for docks.
This compound is similar to that used by vinyl siding and window manufacturers. It is specially formulated for out door exposure where color and physical property retention are important. The formulation includes 20% more ultraviolet inhibitors than the leading competitors. Impact modifiers give added strength and impact resistance in all weather conditions, while preventing denting, splitting, cracking, or breaking. The formula also gives Brock Dock the ability to resist blistering, flaking, corroding or peeling.
Protective End Caps
Plank ends are protected against damage with a cap that also enhances the finished appearance of the dock. No raised edges make it easy to sweep off debris and you won’t stub your toe!
Durable
Tough and sturdy . . . each vinyl plank is a single-piece, three-legged extrusion with solid color throughout.
Slip-Resistant
Grooved design pattern provides a very stylish appearance, an excellent walking surface for shoes or bare feet and quick water drainage. Handicapped approved.
Easy-Clean
Nonporous surface. A good rain will normally clean the surface, or you can sweep lightly with a wet broom.
Cool and Comfortable
Wood absorbs heat. The Brock Deck planking reflects the sun’s rays, staying cool to the touch.
