DOCK & MARINEDECKING FIELD GUIDE
Planning & field resources

Dock installation center

A coordinated route through framing, fasteners, spacing and the details that connect them.

Start with the selected product and accepted assembly.

These guides organize the installation decisions. Obtain current product instructions and project details before work; a generic guide cannot approve a structure or connection.

Installation

Dock decking board spacing

Separate side gaps, end gaps and clearances at fixed objects—and obtain each from the selected product and project requirements.

Project type

Replacing dock boards

A replacement project starts with the structure you have, the reason the old surface failed and the details a new board must fit.
