Docks & Shoreline Construction
We have been designing, installing, repairing and maintaining docks of all kinds for over 25 years. Over that time, construction materials and techniques have changed, but our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service has remained constant.
From shoreline modification and timber crib construction or repair, to floating docks or aluminum pedestal docks, we've done it all!
Whether you are a DIY expert in need of components, or would like to have your dock designed, built and installed for you, contact us to discuss your next project on the water!
NyDock
Nearly a decade ago, we partnered with NyDock, an industry leader in building premium floating docks. They are based in Huntsville, Ontario, and their commitment to quality matches our own. We are proud to be one of their longest established dealers.
Every Nydock is built on their proprietary Pipefusion pontoon system, which truly sets them apart from all of their competition. They utilize a seamless process to create extremely thick and durable HDPE pontoons. These pontoons run the length of each dock section and provide excellent flotation and structural support.
The most amazing part of these pontoons is that they are backed by a Lifetime warranty, and they’re designed to be left in the ice! This is a huge advantage for owners in this part of the world. No more pulling docks out every fall, or struggling to push them back in when spring arrives.
NyDock offers a wide range of products, from classic floating docks, rafts and ramps, to custom designs, Transport Canada approved Dock Boats, and yes, even floating boathouses! They also offer complete commercial marina solutions for private and municipal marinas.
With their tremendous build quality and superior components, NyDock is the leader in a competitive industry, and the clear choice in floating docks. Visit their website at www.nydock.com to see their full line of products.
Gardiner Marine is proud to be a full-service NyDock dealer and installer.
Aluminum pipe docks
In recent years, the Great Lakes and surrounding area have seen record-breaking water level fluctuations. These changing levels have led to an explosion in demand for a dock system that can be adjusted to accommodate the varying water levels from one year to the next. That’s where aluminum pipe docks come in.
Locally hand-crafted, using top quality materials, the aluminum docks that we offer have both incredible strength and versatility. Using heavy guage aluminum tubing for frames, the all-welded sections don’t flex, shake or rattle like those “hardware store” docks that you see outside every big box store. Legs for the docks are 2” diameter heavy wall aluminum pipe, allowing for the docks to be adjusted to the perfect height. All hardware used with the dock is stainless steel, and oversized to ensure long life. The legs are locked in place with (2) 3/8” stainless hex bolts (not those ineffective, tiny set screws you will find on most other docks). Decking for every dock is premium, natural cedar, with hidden fasteners to provide a beautiful, comfortable walking surface. Decking comes in manageable sections, allowing for easy installation and removal each season.
The docks come in 12’ long sections, with a choice of 4’ and 6’ widths. Every section includes 4 integral leg pockets in the corners, reinforcing the strength, and providing the flexibility of having 0, 2, or 4 legs in each section, depending on the application. High quality composite hinges can be installed to provide an easy transition from shore onto the dock.
Easy to assemble components, and top-notch manufacturing make each dock beautiful and durable. With their high-grade aluminum frames, and beautiful cedar decking, these docks will never rust, and are the perfect balance of modern manufacturing with traditional dock feel underfoot!
We are also happy to be able to offer custom aluminum fabrication for specific applications, such as handrails, rolling ramps, and anything else you may require. Tell us your idea, and let us make it a reality!
