Pile Dock Boathouse Foundations
Custom designed boathouse foundations by The Dock Doctors.
Our permanent pile docks are the ideal foundation for a boathouse or sundeck-style boathouse. They can be designed with multiple boat slips and columns in place for a future boathouse.
Manufactured with a welded galvanized steel channel frame, pile docks offer the aesthetic appearance of a wooden dock with the structural integrity of a steel frame system. Compared to a traditional style crib dock, pile docks provide less surface area for ice to come in contact with.
- Ideal for use on bodies of water with limited water fluctuation
- Manufactured to support a sundeck and/or boathouse roof
- Custom fabricated in any size, shape & layout
- Heavy-duty galvanized steel channel frame
- Large diameter galvanized pipe used for pile supports
- Variety of decking options
When a permanent support structure is not feasible due to fluctuating water levels, we custom design floating foundations & support structures for boathouses. If you have an older boathouse with a failing or damaged foundation, we offer a variety of solutions for boathouse foundation repair. We can incorporate a traditional boat lift or a boathouse lift into your boathouse.
