Custom-Built Tower Docks in Ontario

Tower Docks are the ultimate in pole dock designs and are well suited for Ontario waterfronts where seasonal installation and removal are required. Designed for similar conditions as a pole dock, a Tower Dock offers the added benefit of lifting out of the water like a drawbridge at the end of the season, no need to get wet during install or removal.

The tower component is built directly into the dock frame, so there are no heavy parts to remove or store. During the summer, the tower folds neatly underneath the decking, keeping your dock clean, open, and ready for use.

Durable Aluminum Frames

Every Designer Series Tower Dock is hand crafted by experienced welders using the highest quality Canadian materials at our factory in Muskoka. Each system features a welded marine grade aluminum frame and stainless steel fasteners to ensure your system will last a lifetime without rusting. The dock has deck support sleepers every 16″, supporting almost any type of decking you choose to use. Docks are available as frame only or with Western Red Cedar, Solid PVC or Aluminum Decking. Our exclusive deck panel clips clamp decking securely to the frame.

Choosing a Tower Dock Size

The length of your tower dock is typically based on the water depth. How far out do you need to go to be in deep enough water to dock your boat or to swim? Tower docks are available in 20′, 30′, 40′ & 50′ lengths. Additional length can be added as a standard removable pole dock. Widths include 4′, 6′ & 8′. Wider docks are more stable in deeper water and also more comfortable to use.

Choosing a Design

Tower Docks are available in either straight out, or T shaped designs.

  • Straight: Our most common tower dock design, this allows for easy mooring of two boats and room off the end for swimming.
  • T Shape: A 10’x15′ Patio is available to create a T Shape. The patio creates extra seating space for entertaining.

Best Warranty In The Business

Your dock is exposed to the harshest conditions mother nature has to offer. Hot, cold, storm winds and high waves. All before your family arrives for a weekend of swimming, skiing and relaxing on the water. You want a dock that is ready when you are. Every company claims to build the best, most durable dock available but the truth is easy to uncover.

Winterizing your Tower Dock

Tower Docks are perfect for situations where winterizing is done by one person. Deck panels are removed, cables attach and the dock is winched up and out of the water. Winter Cables are attached for additional safety from high winds.

Dock Installation

Tower Dock Installations are somewhat custom based on your shoreline. A site inspection is usually performed during the quote stage to ensure you get everything you need to make your new Tower Dock last a lifetime. Most clients choose to have their Tower Dock installed professionally the first time to ensure it is done properly and can winterize it from there on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main advantage of using a Tower Dock over a traditional Pole Dock is that the dock can be completely removed from the water without having to take it apart. This is beneficial in that it is easier and more convenient, especially in areas where docks must be removed every year.

Tower Docks are usually used in areas where the lake bed is firm and the water levels are consistent. A Pole Dock system is usually used in such areas. Floating Docks are usually used in areas with fluctuating water levels.

The correct dock length depends on the depth of the water and how far you have to reach in the water. If the water is deeper, the dock must be longer in order to provide a safe and comfortable use of the dock.

Tower Docks can perform well in many conditions, but they are generally best suited for moderate water movement. In areas with heavy wave action or constant boat traffic, other dock systems may be more appropriate.

Installation depends on shoreline conditions, slope, and lakebed composition. A site inspection is often recommended to ensure the dock is properly designed and installed for long-term performance.

Yes, Tower Docks are designed so that one person can typically handle winterization using the built-in lifting system, making them a convenient option for seasonal waterfront properties.
