Standard 4' x 10' frame layouts
Our aluminum dock frames use a box-style extrusion welded all the way around each corner, two stringers to reduce deck bounce, and a cross piece for stability. Frames accept cedar, hardwood, composite, vinyl or aluminum decking, and ship by freight quote. Hardware for a two-section dock typically looks like this:
- Straight dock: 4 pipe side brackets, 4 pipe bases, 4 trim caps
- L dock: 4 side brackets, 1 corner bracket, 5 pipe bases, 5 trim caps
- T dock: 2 side brackets, 2 corner brackets, 4 pipe bases, 4 trim caps
Every site is different, so we'll confirm the exact list with your quote. See dock frames and kits.
