Q. How does ice impact floating docks by Jet Dock?

A. The central issue when it comes to ice and its impact on the floating dock is water flow. If there is a heavy current or moving water/ice, the key question to ask yourself is,

"When the ice thaws out, does it just dissipate back into the water level or are there large blocks of heavy flow ice moving around that would severely damage stationary docks?"

If you answer "yes" to the first part of the question, you can leave our dock in all year. We have a number of customers who can attest to this.

If you answer "yes" to the second part of the question, then your next move is as obvious as the ice will tear out and wash away any structure.

For floating docks, if the water does freeze and you leave it in, you will have to remove one section of cubes that resides on the underside of the dock.
