Why fwm?
Dock Innovators Since 1975
For nearly 50 years, family-owned FWM Inc. has been developing and fabricating cutting-edge aluminum solutions for a range of applications. Today, we are a nationally recognized producer of modular aluminum and plastic dock solutions, and the Northeast’s premier distributor of the all-season, polyethylene EZ Dock system.
Our industry-leading Aluminum Floating Docks are easy to install, extraordinarily durable, and practically maintenance free. They feature a lightweight, modular frame design that makes it easy for you to create your own custom dock in any layout or configuration you choose. We are proud to offer our customers a full spectrum of options as we work with them to build the safe, beautiful, long-lasting dock system of their dreams.
FAQs
We have a list of criteria that each decking surface must meet before we think about using it on our docks. The temperature on a hot summer day is critical. All of our decking options will heat up about as much as a regular wooden dock plank.
FWM works with multiple shipping companies and brokers to provide you with the lowest possible freight charges. Some customers have access to a loading dock where we can ship everything on one skid. Others require a residential delivery with a two-man lift gate dropoff. Our FWM Docks are located all over the country and we have developed creative, cost-effective ways to make every dropoff seamless for you.
Installing your new dock system from FWM is relatively easy. It does require a bit of mechanical ability, but if you have a friend and can lift 50 lbs., you can usually complete your installation within a few hours. You can always reach out to your dock specialist for tips on installing your particular layout or check out our owners manual for reference.
