Considering a 12ft x 16ft floating dock for this kit. Of course the wood will add initial weight to the floats before its utilized by persons. Do you suggest additional floats for this size or will the 4 floats suffice with reasonable stability? Thanks!

Asked by: Sunnyo

We used the 4 floats and so did our friends and it is fine. It moves a little but not much at all It was well worth the money. Friends of ours having floating docks too and used more but their floats are smaller .

Can the floats/dock be left in the water if the pond freezes with ice in winter?

Asked by: James

Hello James, There is really no clear answer, however, we strongly advise against it! It's not the fact that freezing water can damage your dock and floats; the problem is the movements of the ice. Generally, where lakes or rivers freeze, it is strongly recommended that all docks be removed for the winter. No matter the dock or float model, make or composition; deciding not to remove the dock from the water for the winter is obviously taking a risk. The weight of these big blocks of ice will push your dock against the shoreline or any obstacle and create much damage or even destroy your dock by crushing it completely. Some small lakes or protected bays may have no ice movements at all, these could be an area where the risk is smaller. Another important concern is whether the water level in your lake or river fluctuates during the winter months. Maybe your dock is placed over a rock that is very well immersed during the summer but if the water level drops in the fall, it will be just a few inches below the surface ice. If the ice breaks or moves, it will make your dock vulnerable. It could be damaged or even crushed by rock or ice itself. As for stationary docks, they must always be removed from the water for the winter. You will find more information on how to winterize docks on our website www.multinautic.com.

Is there a waterproof foam product available to fill the floating dock float tanks

Asked by: Anonymous

Not really, since most floats are foam filled with expanded polystyrene, however the floats that are supplied in this kit are very thick, if used on a lake, the prodfuct won't fail, it is guaranteed for 15 years.
