Q. Does the floating boat dock
come in any color other than black? Because your
cubes are black, doesn't the dock get hot being
in the sun all day?
A. Black
is the only color our drive-on floating docks come
in. We have chosen to
keep the cube its natural color as other colors historically
exhibit less outdoor durability. Technically speaking,
the carbon pigment in the polymer yields a black color.
It provides the highest level of durability, strength,
and flexibility. It is naturally
UV stable and requires
no "additives"
or inhibitors.
By keeping with the proven performance
of black high-density polyethylene (hdpe), Jet Dock
is able to give the lifetime warranty on the cube,
something not found with other products. Also, consider
these aesthetic advantages:
-
Our black cube makes the stains from
dirt, grime and marine growth less conspicuous than
on white or light colored floats
-
The low-angle reflection of water
is "dark" or "black"; therefore,
the Jet Dock blends in attractively with the "seascape"
-
The black color of the cube is "classic"
and will not clash with your boat or surroundings;
old modules will not appear "faded" next
to new modules.
While the floating boat dock can get
hot being in the sun all day, keep in mind the majority
of it is covered by the shadow of your boat, making
much of the dock cool to the touch. Besides, a white
sand beach or a traditional wood deck will burn your
feet on a hot day.
Ask yourself the following questions
in regards to how hot the Jet Dock potentially gets:
a) "Am I using
the dock for sunbathing purposes or am I using it to
preserve my watercraft investment? After all, isn't
my drive-on dry docking system a boat lift?
b) "When
I'm boating, shouldn't I be wearing proper foot gear?"
and lastly,
c) "Couldn't I just throw some outdoor
carpet on the dock if it were really that big an issue?".
FYI-regarding the latter, Jet Dock does offer new
light-colored beige modules for use as a floating
walkway, boat dock, swim platform or sundeck (click
