Additional Information:

Aluminum dock sections have become a very popular option for lakefronts due to there strong, lightweight and durable design. Aluminum dock sections are easy to install and require very little maintenance. These sections are rust proof and do not break down under UV rays. We offer sections in both a mill finish or an anodized aluminum.

The mill finish aluminum dock or non-anodized sections are the less expensive option compared to anodized sections and still offer the same strength and lightweight design. Mill finish sections last for years, but overtime they will discolor or tarnish. This discoloring can transfer to skin and clothing and is the reason we recommend these sections to be used only as a walking surface. If you only need a walkway out to your boat lift and the dock will not be used for lounging, this is the dock material for you.

Anodized aluminum dock sections offer the same structural design as mill finish sections. However anodized sections go through the process of electrolytic passivation that increases the thickness of teh natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminum. This process increases the resistance to corrosion, discoloration, wear, and typically keeps the dock looking "new" for many years with little to no maintenance. Anodized sections also seem to stay cooler to the touch than many other decking materials including mill finish aluminum.
