This old Port Carling dock was 18 years old and really on its last legs, cribs failing, all the beams were rotten and it was a danger to anyone walking on it.

High water and waves destroyed this dock.
We rebuilt it from the bottom up adding additional brackets between the bottom of the crib and the beams, extra stone in the crib and we reinforced the crib against movement, all to ensure the high waters won't lift this dock again.

Helical Piers
Helical piers work great in a sandy location like this.
Each one is capable of supporting thousands of pounds of weight.
Sub frame
Using the right building materials ensures a stable foundation but also protects our environment and the lake!
We don't use Pressure Treated or chemically treated woods around the lake.

Great looks and a solid foundation
