Commercial Floating Docks

The Commercial platform is designed using the most durable, products and materials. Our goal is to create a commercial level quality design, customizable dock system for residential and business use.

Just Ask About the Warranty

At On the Water Designs, we warranty our dock frames for a full 10 Years. Our warranty is NOT prorated meaning you aren’t responsible for 10% of the cost in year 1, 20% in year 2 etc. like some of our competitors. With On the Water Designs, you have the same great coverage at year 10 as you did the day you bought the dock. We are able to offer the best warranty in the business because most of our clients never need to use it. To us, that is the mark of a great quality dock system.

HDPE Pontoon 18″ vs 24″ and Crossers

We measure both these sizes into 4 critical categories, it’s Capacity, its Wall Thickness, the Weight it can manage and the Freeboard.
The 24″ Pontoons offer additional capacity, higher freeboard, weight per square foot and has a thicker wall (please see price list link below for these details)
Our pontoons have a Double End Cap Bottom giving a 1″ thickness and are double welded to prevent ice damage.
The proprietary HDPE crosser system creates a rugged connection between upper and lower structural frames without sacrificing the flexibility to create limitless designs.

Options and Accessories

Deck Trim Colour

Commercial floating docks come with trim available in nine standard colours. In addition to that, for marinas, resorts, and municipal applications, the trim colours can be used as visual identifiers for slips, dock sections, or zones to help organize and enhance a finished look.

Wood Frame Designs

Two natural wood frame design options are available: Standard and Picture Framed, allowing the dock to match surrounding architecture or waterfront aesthetics.

Trim Rail

Yellow trim rail can be installed along the pontoon perimeter to improve visibility and safety. This trim also functions as a grab handle for swimmers and users in the water.
