Low Maintenance
All FWM Dock frames and accessories are maintenance free and use marine grade aluminum and stainless steel hardware. The weight-sensitive design makes it a perfect choice for seasonal installation and removal.
Superior Materials & Construction
FWM Docks are designed for people who demand excellence and a lifetime of use from their docks. Unlike some of our competitors, we don’t use galvanized steel or wood. Why? Because it’s simply too heavy and won’t stand up to yearly wear and tear like our 6000 series aluminum. Never again will you have to worry about your dock splintering or rusting.
Stability
Each of the three FWM Dock styles (Stationary, Rolling and Floating) have been engineered with an emphasis on stability. Our uniquely engineered cross-bracing technology allows for easy installation with maximum stability, even under stress.
Connecting Hardware
Our standard splice kits and 90-degree splice kits are used to connect one dock section to another. With these kits you will never need to reach underneath the dock to blindly try and fasten your dock together. We use nylon-coated 316 stainless steel hardware and heavy machined aluminum plates to fasten dock sections together safely and securely.
Modular Design
Each of FWM Docks’ frames (4'x8', 4’ x 10’, 4’ x 12’, 6’ x 10’) are designed to be 100% modular. Like a giant adult Lego set, you can assemble your dock in any layout or configuration. You can also easily change the style of your dock from your initial purchase into any of our three styles: stationary, rolling or floating. A unique track system allows you to easily install and adjust the placement of any of our accessories.
Attractive Look & Feel
The sleek, clean and flush look of the FWM Dock aluminum frame has been known to turn the heads of even old-time wooden dock purists. With three decking options and multiple colors, we’re sure to have a decking surface that will appeal to you. You can even add a piece of composite fascia board to the sides of your dock frame, creating the look of a wooden dock while enjoying the maintenance-free qualities of aluminum.
Easy-to-Use Decking Panels
Regardless of the decking product you choose, each aluminum dock frame comes with pre-panelized decking that’s easy to install and remove. This makes getting your dock in and out of the water during installation and removal a breeze by drastically reducing the overall weight of each dock section.

FAQ’s
We’re Here to Help
Here are the answers to some of the most Frequently Asked Questions about our versatile, durable FWM Dock systems. If you have a question that you don’t see answered here, please contact us.
Q: Are FWM Docks saltwater safe?
FWM Docks are saltwater safe. Over time, aluminum will naturally oxidize. This actually provides our dock frames with a layer of oxidation protecting them from the saltwater.
Q: Does the FWM decking get hot?
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.
Q: How do the sections connect to one another?
Another key to the EZ Dock system is the patented rubber coupler. The coupler allows the dock sections to connect to one another tightly. This means that on a calm day the dock feels like one giant piece with very little movement between the sections. In the event of wave action, the dock sections will flex and move with the water (see video). The rubber coupler is used not just in between dock sections, many of the anchoring brackets also use the rubber coupler. This allows for optimal absorption of wave energy, safeguarding not only the dock but also your piling or other anchoring device.

Reviews
See what our customers are saying...
Previously we owned a very heavy, hard-to-install wooden dock. The new dock we got from FWM is on wheels and it really couldn’t be easier to install and remove each season. The construction is very sturdy and the way the sections connect to one another is far superior to others I have seen on the lake.
