    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1

    Unpack & Inspect

    15 min

    Unpack all dock cubes and hardware. Inspect for any shipping damage and verify you have all components listed on your packing slip.

    2

    Connect Cubes on Land

    30-60 min

    Our crew lays out your dock cubes in the desired configuration on flat ground and uses the interlocking pin system to connect all cubes together.

    3

    Install Trex Decking (If Included)

    30-60 min

    If your dock includes Trex composite decking, our crew installs the grooved decking panels with hidden fasteners over pressure-treated framing on top of the connected cubes.

    4

    Launch & Position

    15-30 min

    With help, slide or carry the assembled dock into the water. Use a kayak, small boat, or rope to position it where you want it.

    5

    Anchor & Secure

    30 min

    Secure your dock using anchor lines, pilings, or our gangway system depending on your waterfront setup.
