Patriot Docks Premium Floating Dock Section – Stability Meets Customization

The Premium Floating Dock Section is our flagship DIY dock solution, designed for those who want maximum stability, width, and weight capacity in a modular system. This upgraded section features integrated Side Stability Floats, which extend the dock’s overall width while significantly increasing its buoyancy and resistance to rocking. The result is a wider, sturdier floating platform—ideal for high-traffic dock areas, larger patio zones, or swim platforms that demand extra support.

Each section is built around our trusted Low Profile frame, constructed from marine-grade aluminum and engineered for simple, bolt-together assembly. Underneath, foam-filled float drums provide dependable, leak-free flotation. The added width and floatation make this section especially useful for DIYers looking to build wider, more stable dock designs without sacrificing modular flexibility.

Use the Premium Section to:

  • Stabilize central dock zones in custom layouts
  • Add wide patios or dock length
  • Support gear, gatherings, or furniture
  • Build durable platforms in rougher water conditions
  • Design wider walkways, fingers, or swim platforms

Sections can be joined rigidly or with hinges, depending on your dock layout needs. Connection hardware is not included—this allows you to choose the setup that’s right for your shoreline.

Need help planning your layout? Our dock specialists are standing by to make sure you have everything you need for your custom design—whether you're expanding, reconfiguring, or starting from scratch.

Crafted for connection and built for you, Patriot Docks Floating Dock Sections offer a smarter way to create the dock system you’ve always imagined. Whether you're starting fresh or adding to an existing layout, these modular, low-profile aluminum sections give you the freedom to build your dock your way—from quiet morning fishing platforms to spacious patio-style swim decks.

Note: This section is not intended for standalone use. It is one complete unit designed to connect with other dock sections to build unique layouts and configurations.
