14 Best Wood For Docks (2022 Updated)

Perfect replacement for the older ladder platforms. Make sure to drill pilot holes so the wood wont crack.

Gorgeous. I installed this on my Cal 2-46, and it looks wonderful. The woodwork is absolutely top notch.

Replaced the old PF on my 2004 awuasport with this nice Teak piece. Used the old platform as a template for drill holes.

This floating island is INCREDIBLE – we live on a HUGE Texas lake and our home is on open water. The views are 2 miles across due West and 5 miles North and South. LARGE! There are days when the condition of the lake from our property looks like an ocean – yes actual waves with white caps.

We inflated the island and the XL lounge chairs and tethered to our dock on one of the rougher days. We bobbed up and down in the waves on the island sitting in the chairs drinking cocktails. What rough water? On the island and in the chairs we were extremely comfortable and managed to stay out for a few hours.

We will be taking the entire ensemble with us in the boat and float all the different coves and areas of the 220 mile reservoir. Even though the island came with a foot pump I did purchase a portable compressor that plugs into the 12V of our boat that has a digital read out and the ability to set the desired PSI.

Highly recommend going this route for ease and convenience.

Best thing we have bought for our river house. Located on the Delaware River we ordered a boat that has been back ordered because of Covid. I came across the BOTE dock and it truly didn’t disappoint.

Perfect for a day on the river to be able to include our English Bulldog Lola with. Loved it so much we went back and bought two seats and a sofa for it. We now paddle it up river and anchor it for the afternoon to swim off of it.

Everyone who sees it ask about it. People have even go stop to take pictures of it from the Belvidere Riverton Bridge. Completely worth it. Plan on anchoring it to the back of the pontoon boat when it arrives.

Bote brand is across the board the top brand on the market. Almost all of their products were engineered and patented by one of the most brilliant minds out there, who also has a true passion for the outdoors and providing not only fun on the water but safety as well.

It been amazing to watch the amount of companies out there that just wait to see what Bote creates and then attempts to make a similar looking product at a cheaper price. I am 6’3″ 215 lbs and I can stand on the corner of this floating object without the other side even coming off the water it is so stable.

My nephew and his friends have full out battles, wrestling and using those blow up battle axe things, laughing hysterically the entire time, and the dock stands firm the entire time. It also holds up against the elements incredibly well.

If you are in the market for something like this, you will find other products that appear the same, but they are a waste of money. They are unstable, can flip, are damaged easily, etc. You can step off your boat onto this product like you are standing on dry land vs competitors that cause you to carefully step on and manage your balance to find a spot of stability.

While this product may be slightly more expensive, it is not worth it to spend your money on anything else. Ten stars.

Packaging was secure and strong on a large pallet. The construction of this dock is sturdy and welds are clearly high quality. I got the cedar deck option, and each panel is precisely cut and assembled with pride.

The legs and axles are very thick gauge steel, very beefy, and clearly meant to hold up to the abuses that a dock must endure. Thank you for the fantastic dock. A. L. Maine, USA.

The instructions are without a doubt the worst documents ever produced but eventually I figured things out. The cedar was beautiful and nicely sanded. It’s sturdier than I expected for the price. Don’t expect any extras, they sent exactly the correct amount of bolts and the wheel axle was just barely long enough.

Overall good value for the money but a child could produce better instructions.

Light weight. 32 feet of 4 ft wide dock with Aluminum panels only weighed in at just over 7oo lbs. A real surprise at the quality and strength and design. I expect it will last a long time in spite of the harsh two foot pounding waves we endure.

Color is different from the picture- lock is actually two totally different colors. The outside is a sapphire blue while the turn knob is teal. Works fine, but not what I thought I was buying

its a mass produced master lock that works but wrong color as advertised and its a average combination lock, you get what you pay for

Using this for the locker room at the gym. This is perfect. Good quality, heavy duty.

I’m very happy with this purchase. The dock arrived well wrapped on a pallet. The assembly took some time but the instructions were good. The quality of the dock exceeded my expectations.

Our new roll-in dock was delivered yesterday. It looks great! We need to put it together, but think that it will be just what we were looking for. Shipping was pretty fast. Only complaint would be that we did not receive any advance notice of when the dock would arrive, so had no bobcat or forklift scheduled to unload the dock, and had to scramble to find some guys to help unload.

Although we were missing one wheel and one section was dented , replace parts were shipped within two weeks, we will known how well it goes together next spring.

I ordered this urn and I did choose to customize it by doing my own very short poem (similar to the ones given to chose from). However, I believe putting your own poems (2 lines or one sentence in total) was very costly being more than a 1/3 of the cost of the urn itself.

The customer service was friendly and quick to respond with the example to approve and fix a couple errors I found and immediately sent me an example of the corrected example. I received the urn in plenty of time without their offers of expedited shipping (which were extremely costly).

Altogether, my urn went from $85 to $145. The size is perfect for 100lbs or less as described. Altogether, I was happy with my purchase with the exception of the costly change of a simple computer change to change a very short poem line (same length as ones provided to choose from) to a custom worded one.

it shouldn’t be a $30 upcharge unless poem is lengthy and font size and spacing has to be changed to accommodate to fit the space provided. All in all, I am happy with the urn I received and intend to purchase more in the future.

It arrived well packaged as well to prevent damage. So no complaints except the custom very short poem upcharge.

Thank you for providing such beautiful, well-made cremation boxes. I was very comfortable ordering from your website of vast memorial tributes for our loved ones. It’s so very hard to go thru the grieving process just by itself, but you made this part of it extremely easier.

Can’t thank you enough for providing ease, and beautiful quality-made items. I purchased 2, superb, personalized memorial boxes for myself and my sister. They were packaged together very carefully and shipped quickly.

We both love them tremendously, and are extremely grateful for your site in providing such heartfelt tributes. I will certainly suggest you to others.

We purchased an urn from your company for my step-dad, who was an avid fisherman. My mom fell in love with the design as she felt it depicted him very well. Your company was gracious and kind and his urn is beautiful.

On top of that, I had the honor of transferring my dad’s ashes into his urn and it was very easy to do. What a blessing for me to present this “gift†to my family members to remember my dad. He is resting well by my mom’s bedside now.

I will certainly order from you again when the time calls. God’s blessings on you all for such beautiful creations to remember our loved ones. Sincerely, The Martian Family.

Hi, Products build quailty is great no problem with that. But when it comes to daily bases using it is awful. It is impossible to put the phone in the stand with one hand. The cable goes down and did not fit to phone to hold it.

I need to use two of my hands one of them is holding the charger the second one is holding the phone and try to match the charging port. Charger cable needs to be fixed and then it will be ok. But for now I cannot use this product on my daily routine.

Stylish, sturdy and easy to assemble. Thank you for another quality product.

In love with my new charging pods, they look amazing on my bed side tables and so tidy with no cords all over the place

I used this on a roof deck. Easy to install although difficult to fit around obstacles. Very nice appearance

I’ve been needing a Bluetooth speaker for a while. This one is perfect for my needs. Easy to set up. It has a touch control for the volume, power, and Bluetooth connection function. It took a little getting use to turn on and off.

Once I got the hang of it super easy. It gets loud enough to enjoy music. It’s good to use around the house or park. It isn’t a speaker for parties or get togethers. Great for everyday use.

Delighted with this attractively designed wooden Bluetooth speaker. Only 4 stars out of 5 because for some silly reason you cannot choose to disable the green light (which comes on the front, once connected).

That would have been OK. but in our case that light also continues to flash (which is supposed to at least be solid (green) once connected. So that spoils it ever-so-slightly. Still delighted though, treat yourself to one!.

I love this speaker. My office consists of a HP monitor that does not have sound. When I link the speaker to my MacBook Pro, I am able to share videos with the HP monitor and use the mini halo as the speaker.

The sound is superb and with just a wave of a finger you can reduce the volume and turn it off as well. I did not have luck syncing two together, but I very much enjoy the one speaker alone.

This is a great product recommended to me by the lumber company I purchased my IPE wood deck materials from. East application with lasting luster for beautiful hardwoods. Ordering through DIY is super helpful as this product is hard to find in brick n mortar stores.

This is my second year using Ipe Oil on my ipe deck just completed last year in MN. I chose Ipe to avoid mold and rot because the deck extends from the north of my home into a wooded area where it’ll remain cool and moist.

The deck build took two seasons so the wood was oxydized. After a vigorous power washing and a weeks drying I applied Ipe Oil with two micro fiber rags. It absorbed well in most places and wiped off easy.

It looked great! Over winter it oxydized much less and only in highly sunned spots. This year I power washing was less vigorous and the wood looks like new. To maintain that fresh wood look in similar conditions, this is a good product.

Oh, and decks direct are good peeps. I purchased my balusters from them and my parents just purchased aluminum railings through them. Their warehouse is local and we stopped down for an exchange (my fault).

They were very accommodating.

I purchased this with the intention of installing the dock next spring. Product was shipped quickly. And seems to be as ordered. The instructions seem simple enough and I expect little problems installing the dock next spring.

I also order a couple accessories through Home Depot such as bumpers for the sides and posts. This was shipped promptly and came as expected.

Bought 3 dock sections and they arrived on time just a couple weeks after ordering. The metal frame takes like a half an hour to put together if you have a helper. The instructions are very clear and easy to use.

We followed the instructions and bought cedar (from home depot) for the decking. Cedar is more expensive than treated wood but treated wood will wreck your aluminum frame. The cedar looks and smells amazing.

We only bought 10 per section but if we had a couple extra boards we could have used them to fill in some gaps. We also got some extra feet so the end of the dock doesn’t sit on the shore but sits on the lake bottom.

After a decade trying to plug holes and achieve significant tasks with shorter, thinner pieces of wood I was at my wits end. What I needed was something longer and thicker. Enter. 1/2″ x 72″ dowel. Performs flawlessly.

An absolute game-changer. Thank you dowel!.

If you have large or small birds in your home, this poplar dowel is the best birdcage wood, it is easy to clean. Several sizes are available in all Canadian tires stores.
