Lowcountry Dock Construction Methods

We build docks three different ways. Each system can be used to build a complete dock.

  • Traditional Timber: Built using standard 2-inch material.
  • Heavy Timber: Built using 3-inch material.
  • Complete Aluminum Frame: The marine-grade aluminum acts as the structural skeleton, while the Ipe or synthetic decking acts as the body. This delivers commercial-grade durability underneath—rated to 100 pounds per square foot—while maintaining a traditional Lowcountry look on the outside.

Pilings are typically installed at approximately 10 feet on center based on site conditions.
