When temperatures drop, ice becomes your dock’s worst enemy. The best defense? A little preparation before the freeze.

Whether you stay for the winter or head south until spring, your waterfront deserves protection. Start by removing or securing seasonal docks—especially floating styles—to prevent damage from shifting ice.

Inspect dock boxes and storage containers, and make sure valuables and gear are safely stowed away for the off-season. If you’re unsure what to keep, store, or replace, our team can help. We’ve gathered products built to withstand the elements—from weather-sealed dock boxes to durable hardware that holds up when the water ices over.
