This drawing of a 4 x 8 section illustrates the six essential components of an Eco-Flote Dock: 1-the frame pieces, 2-the corners, 3-the cross brace, 4-the support channels, 5-the floats, and 6-the decking panels. These components are easily assembled into a finished section using 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts that connect into the interior and exterior nut channels on the frames. Not pictured are the mitered corner bracing plates that bolt diagonally into the upper and lower internal nut channels. Formerly an optional accessory, these bracing plates are now a standard componant of every completed dock section.
