Shepco Development is an authorized dealer for Flotation Systems, a leader in quality, custom aluminum floating docks. Whatever kind of dock you need, our goal is to design one that fits your property and your budget. We handle the whole process from initial layout to installation.
The whole process is only three simple steps with our experienced lake and dock experts.
1. Site Evaluation and Layout
The first step is a visit to your property to look at your shoreline, water depth, and bank slopes. We’ll help you choose the right dock shape, size, and gangway access point to fit your land and pond/lake.
2. Custom Dock Construction
Your dock is built using high-grade aluminum frames and float drums. These floats resist punctures and keep your platform stable and level on the water.
3. Professional Installation
Our installation team will anchor the dock using stiff-arm bank mounts, slide pipes, or cable systems. We’ll make sure the hinged gangway moves smoothly as the water goes up and down.
Yes. Floating docks can be installed in existing ponds without draining the water or bothering the clay seal on the pond floor.
Our docks use heavy-duty anchoring systems and flexible shore hinges. This lets the dock rise safely with floodwaters while still securely tied to the shore when it’s windy.
Aluminum dock frames and decking will not rot, rust, or warp. They don’t need any weather sealing, and they stay cooler in the heat than dark wood or plastic boards.
The size depends on how you plan to use it. A simple fishing pier or swimming platform can be as small as 8x12 feet. If you plan to host family gatherings, add covered seating, or park a boat, a bigger dock will probably be needed.
No. Our aluminum floating docks and encapsulated floats are designed to stay in the water year-round. They withstand seasonal weather changes without needing to be pulled out or stored during the winter months.
