Patriot Docks Floating Dock Sections – Modular DIY Design

Patriot Docks Floating Dock Sections are modular, low-profile aluminum kits designed for ultimate flexibility in building your own dock system. Whether you're extending your existing dock, creating custom layouts, or adding new features like patios, boat slips, or swim platforms, these floating dock sections let you craft a dock that fits your lifestyle and shoreline.

At the core of every section is our signature Low Profile frame, featuring marine-grade aluminum, a low-to-the-water design, and bolt-together construction. This combination delivers a sleek, accessible dock with exceptional durability and straightforward assembly—ideal for both first-time DIYers and seasoned dock builders. The foam-filled float drums ensure reliable buoyancy that won’t leak or sink.

Use these modular sections to:

  • Expand stationary docks into deeper water
  • Add fingers or slips for boats and PWCs
  • Create patio areas for entertaining
  • Build standalone swim platforms
  • Design complete marina systems

Sections connect quickly using Low Profile Hinges, creating secure joints with minimal tools required. You can anchor the layout with piling brackets or dead man anchors using our compatible floating dock hardware.

Choose from a range of premium decking options to match your shoreline and dock aesthetic. All decking materials and accessories are available for residential delivery, right to your home.

Need help designing your layout? Our dock specialists are standing by to help you plan your custom dock system and make sure you have everything you need for your unique setup.
