Decking and Fascia Options
Replacing rotting timbers is no easy feat. At Nordcap our steel dock supports are engineered to last with thick wall pipes and the choice of long-term rust proofing options. Your dock is essential to cottage living. It should be low maintenance and long-lasting! For more than 32 years we’ve been building steel docks throughout Muskoka, ON, Canada. Our work has ranged from simple swim docks to support structures for projects like the Muskoka Boat & Heritage Centre. We’ll help you choose the optimal location on your waterfront and design a dock for your family’s long-term plans. We pay special attention to structural integrity. Our pilings are high-quality rust-proofed steel because a dock is only as good as its foundation.
Why Steel Docks?
- Much higher strength than wood – consider when placing a boat port or boathouse on the structure
- Less timber required, more trees saved – added to the benefit above this is truly a win-win!
- The structure does not settle – steel docks have piles pinned/driven to bedrock
- Building permits are granted more easily – due to the minimal area that piles occupy on the lake bottom
- The life expectancy of your dock can be 85 years – rustproofing the steel structure increases the lifespan. Compare with crib docks that need repairs on average every 25 years.
