ig Wave is an Authorized Tide Tamer docking systems
dealer and installer.
Aluminum docking systems are superior from wood
for so many reasons
Lifespan and Durability
Longer life: Aluminum docks last 30 to 50 years or more, while wood docks usually last only 10 to 20 years.
No rot or rust: Aluminum does not warp, absorb water, or get damaged by insects and fungi.
Safe surface: Unlike wood, aluminum does not crack or form sharp splinters over time.
Maintenance and Upkeep
Low maintenance: Aluminum needs only a basic wash with soap and water.
No chemicals: Wood requires yearly power washing, sanding, and chemical sealants to stay safe, which can harm the local water environment.
Weight and Installation
Lightweight: Aluminum weighs much less than wood, making it easier to carry, install, and adjust.
Seasonal friendly: Because it is light, you can easily pull an aluminum dock out of the water before winter freeze-thaw cycles damage it.
