Playstar PS 1155 Marine Dock Float

How do you attach to a frame?
The floats have holes manufactured into them to allow you to attached to frame.

Are these filled with foam?
PlayStar Marine Dock Floats PS 1155 are not filled with any additional materials. We do not fill them so that if the float somehow would get punctured or torn open there are no additional contaminants or harmful materials to impact the environment or wildlife. Our Floats have 500 lbs of buoyancy each and will float in as little as 1 1/2" of water.

Do I need to remove my floats/dock during the winter months?
Normal freezing and thawing will not damage PlayStar Floats. However, docks are left in at owner’s discretion. No dock can withstand heavy ice movement.

You should consider the following factors:

What has been the history of ice movement at your location?
Do other dock owners in your area take their docks in or leave them out?
Are there local restrictions or requirements?
What kind of recreational activities take place around the dock during the winter?

Are the pieces inter-locking so I could have a 4X6 dock? Can I purchase the needed hardware from my local store?
PlayStar dock floats do not interlock. They are secured to a wood frame with 2" hot dipped galvanized lag screws and washers and to an Aluminum frame with 1 1/4" bolts.

Can I turn my float sideways i.e. mount at 3ft wide?
No, PlayStar dock floats are intended to be mounted and provide maximum stability at 4 ft. wide.

I need a floating walk way to cross 150 feet of marsh/swamp. Is this product right for this application?
