EZ Dock Systems Explained: A Smart, Flexible Solution for Midwest Waterfronts

by

Any location along a river, lake, or reservoir will come with unique needs for your waterfront access. But the right products can always rise to the occasion. You just need an experienced team and a strategic design to make the solution shine!

At Deaton’s Waterfront Services, we specialize in EZ Dock installations. Our goal for clients across the Midwest is to help property owners, municipalities, marinas, and parks build docks and waterfront solutions that are durable and adaptable for the long term.

What Makes EZ Dock Different from Traditional Dock Systems?

EZ Dock is built out of molded polyethylene. It’s the real deal. You get a stable system with a structure that’s fully encapsulated. The other options just don’t hold up. Think of wood or metal docks—they can rot, rust, or splinter over time. EZ Dock is different because it’s specially designed to stand the test of time. Plus, it gives you the versatility to change your layout down the road.

We’ve found that EZ Dock is an ideal solution to handle everyday wear from seasonal use. It also resists UV exposure. Basically, you’re getting a solid investment. For Midwest waterfronts that go through fluctuating water levels, freezing winters, and heavy recreational traffic, the material advantages with EZ Dock make a big difference in longevity and maintenance needs.

How Durable Are EZ Dock Systems in Freshwater Environments?

EZ Dock systems are engineered to perform year after year without the issues you commonly see with traditional docks. The low maintenance is especially appealing. And you don’t have to sacrifice durability. The solid, foam-filled design means you have consistent flotation, as well as good stability. Even as water levels change throughout the season, you’ll still be all set to enjoy the water.

Can EZ Dock Be Customized for Different Uses?

Yes—and that’s one of the biggest advantages. EZ Dock’s modular design lets you customize layouts for just about any application. You can even change up your design later on if your needs change.

Whether you need a simple residential dock, a large marina layout, kayak and paddleboard launches, fishing piers, swim platforms, or public access walkways, we know how to configure the options with an EZ Dock system to match your site and usage. Even looking ahead, if your waterfront plans ever need adjusting, EZ Dock makes reconfiguration simple. We’ll be able to add sections or remove them, or even just rearrange pieces without starting from scratch. It’s a great perk for growing marinas or park spaces that are evolving. We even work with seasonal facilities on rental options because EZ Dock is just that easy to use!

How Easy Is Installation Compared to Other Dock Systems?

EZ Dock systems are designed for efficient installation. The components are modular and lightweight (compared to traditional materials), so things tend to go quickly. Not only is this great for our team, it also helps minimize the disruption to your shoreline and surrounding environment. We love working with the best products, and you’ll love our streamlined process!

At Deaton’s Waterfront Services, we handle every step—from design and planning, to delivery and final placement with anchoring. You’ll always have experts on the job.

Is EZ Dock an Environmentally Responsible Choice?

We know that families, along with municipalities, are often concerned about protecting sensitive areas. Fortunately, our solutions work to improve your waterfront access without any damaging long-term impacts on the surrounding ecosystem. EZ Dock products are made from non-toxic materials that won’t leach chemicals into freshwater systems. Even better, their floating design lets water and light pass through, which helps preserve the natural habitats you have along the shoreline.

Why Work with Deaton’s Waterfront Services for EZ Dock Projects?

Choosing reliable materials is critical, but designing a dock system goes beyond just that. We know what we like working with, but it’s also about how we structure our process.

Analyzing your site conditions, water depth, usage demands, accessibility needs, and long-term goals is a critical part of determining what a successful layout will be. Let our team show you the way! Deaton’s Waterfront Services has experience with all types of residential, commercial, and government waterfront projects. We make sure that every EZ Dock system we deliver will be tailored to the site—not forced to fit it.

We serve clients throughout Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, and Missouri. Let us know what’s on your mind! From the initial consultation to final installation, our team can help you make a confident decision in protecting your investment, so you’re able to enhance your waterfront for years to come.

Why EZ Dock is Ideal for Commercial Use

by

When it comes to commercial waterfront properties, choosing the right docking system is essential for efficiency, safety, and reliability. EZ Dock has emerged as a leading solution for businesses looking to optimize their waterfront operations. In this article, we’ll explore why EZ Dock is the ideal choice for commercial use, touching on its durability, versatility, and low maintenance requirements.

Durability for High-Demand Environments

One of the primary concerns for any commercial operation is durability. EZ Dock systems are designed to withstand harsh conditions, making them perfect for high-traffic commercial settings. Made from high-density polyethylene, these docks resist corrosion, UV damage, and the wear and tear of daily use. This durability ensures a long service life with minimal upkeep, a critical factor for busy commercial operations.

Modular Design for Versatility

The modular design of EZ Dock systems is a game-changer for commercial applications. These docks can be easily configured to meet the specific needs of any business, whether it involves accommodating large tour boats, personal watercraft, or providing a stable platform for water-based activities. The flexibility to reconfigure layouts as needs evolve is a significant advantage, ensuring that the docks can adapt to changing business requirements.

Low Maintenance, High ROI

For commercial enterprises, time and resources are precious. EZ Dock requires minimal maintenance, freeing up time and resources that can be better spent elsewhere. Unlike traditional wooden or metal docks, there’s no need for frequent painting or repairs. This low-maintenance aspect translates into a high return on investment, as the costs and labor associated with upkeep are significantly reduced.

Safety and Accessibility

Safety is paramount in commercial operations, especially when it involves public access. EZ Dock designs prioritize safety with features like slip-resistant surfaces and sturdy handrails. Additionally, these docks are ADA compliant, ensuring they are accessible to everyone, which is essential for public and commercial facilities.

Environmental Responsibility

Today, more than ever, businesses are being called upon to make environmentally responsible choices. EZ Dock’s eco-friendly design aligns with this need. The materials used are recyclable and do not leach chemicals into the water, making them an excellent choice for environmentally conscious operations.

Conclusion

In summary, EZ Dock presents an ideal solution for commercial waterfront properties. Its durability, versatility, low maintenance, safety features, and environmental friendliness make it a top choice for businesses looking to invest in a high-quality docking system. Whether for marinas, tour operators, or any other waterfront business, EZ Dock offers a value-packed, efficient, and reliable solution.

If your business is considering an upgrade or installation of a new docking system, consider EZ Dock for a cost-effective, durable, and versatile option. Contact us today to learn more about how EZ Dock can enhance your commercial waterfront property.

How to Choose the Right PWC Port

by

If you’re a new personal watercraft (PWC) or waterfront property owner, nothing beats a fun day riding around the lake during the summer. While riding around the lake is a blast, pulling the jet ski out of water is a tedious chore that nobody wants to do if they don’t have to. Fortunately, there’s a solution to storing your PWC that will leave it high and dry, and out of corrosive water. The EZ Port! The EZ Port series by EZ Dock is the market leader in PWC ports due to it’s ease of use, protection, and durability.

Why You Need A Jet Ski Port

Owning a lift for your personal watercraft is essential to protecting the investment value because it keeps the PWC in the original condition that it was in as the day you bought it. By taking a jet ski out of water after each use, you eliminate the long term problems that are associated with leaving a jet ski in the water. Over time a jet ski will get hull damage by rubbing and banging up against a dock when the wind picks up and the weather worsens. Water will also fade paint on the hull over time due to the acidity in unpurified water minerals. While both of these are cosmetic damage that can lead to a big problem later, they will decrease the value of the jet ski and make it look old quick. People want to keep their PWC shiny and new, and have it last a long time. Water will also damage the internal parts of a jet ski, causing them to rust and gunk up quick if constantly submerged. So a quick way to make your jet ski look old and not run right is to leave it in the water.

A PWC lift or jet ski port will suspend your jet ski out of water, allowing it to be safely stored in a dry location. There are many models of jet ski port on the market including standard crank lifts, foam-filled polyethylene ports, or even wooden lifts but none compare to the EZ Port series. With plenty of adjustable rollers, getting in and out of the water with an EZ Port is as simple as rolling on and sliding off.

How EZ Port Compares to Competition

While the market is full of competing PWC lifts, none offer the durability and ease-of-use as EZ Dock. There’s still EZ Ports from 25+ years ago in the water today! The two most common PWC lifts are stationary and floating. A stationary lift will sit in the water in a fixed location and typically requires a wheel to crank the PWC in and out of the water. Instead of spending time cranking, EZ Port owners are able to use the built-in adjustable rollers to pull on and slide off. EZ Ports face much more competition when compared against floating PWC lifts. A floating PWC lift rises and lowers with the water level, perfect for bodies of water with a lot of fluctuation.

The competition to the EZ Port all lacks a key feature in one way or another. For example, most PWC lift manufacturers also fill their product with marine foam. A foam-filled PWC port will hold up for a couple of years, but after a while they will start to get warped and the plastic will bubble. Those bubbles will fill with water, causing the port to slowly start to sink. Another negative factor of foam is the harm to the environment caused when the beads start to leak. EZ Ports are all hollow and constructed out of durable polyethylene, meaning they will hold up for decades. Another advantage EZ Ports have when it comes to durability is the single unit one piece construction. Some competitors offer their set ups in modular cubes or sections that need to be coupled together. The problem with these designs is the pressure put on them by bending and conforming to the weight of the hull of a PWC. Over time the links will weaken and eventually snap leading to expensive repairs. EZ Port offers the user the most durable construction while being the easiest to use.

Picking the Right EZ Port for Your Lift

Much like there are different sizes and models of PWC, EZ Port offers three different lifts. The EZ Port MAX 2i, the current industry standard, is designed for larger three seat PWCs and features 12 adjustable rollers that can be shaped to match the hull of a PWC. For smaller 2 seat PWC, the EZ Port VXP is designed to accommodate any brand of shorter PWC with a weight limit of up to 1,300 lbs. The newest offering, the EZ Port 280, will be 80″ wide with an additional 10″ walk space compared to the MAX 2i. While the choice may be a little confusing, you can find out more about the different models here.

If you’re interested in an EZ Port, or have any questions regarding PWC lifts feel free to reach out to our team of experts. We’ll work with you to determine the PWC you own and the right lift that fits your needs. As always, you can also call to talk to your local EZ Dock dealer at (800) 654-8168.

The FAQs of EZ Dock

by

EZ Dock is one of the best solutions available for waterfront owners. However, after years of traditional steel and wood docks being the most common dock installed people may be a little hesitant to abandon what they know for a product they are uninformed about. With it’s modular-design and worry-free durability, EZ Dock allows a customer to design the perfect dock to fit their needs that will hold up over time. However, when we are talking to customers about EZ Dock, they all tend to ask several of the same questions. Today, we are going to go over some of these to give our customers as much helpful information they can get before they give us a call.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About EZ Dock

1. How long will it take to get my new dock?

All EZ Dock products offered at Deaton’s Waterfront Services are in-stock and ready to be installed. Most docks can be delivered and installed right away so you can begin enjoying your dock immediately, but in the case that we are out of a product the turnaround time at most can take up to a month.

2. Can you install the dock, or will I have to myself?

Deaton’s Waterfront Services is proud to offer installation for any project our customers see fit. We will give you a quote beforehand to make sure everything is good to go. However in the case of EZ Dock, the installation process is very simple and can be installed within a day. Projects generally require two people for installation.

3. Does EZ Dock require any special tools for installation?

A coupler installation tool (about $40) is the only specialized tool that you will need to assemble the EZ Dock sections. A hammer, ratchet, 15/16″ socket, coupler socket tool (about $5), and a Phillips head screwdriver is all it takes. Consider the fact that the EZ Dock design eliminates up to 60% of the components that other manufactured dock systems need for assembly. It takes only one connection point to make twenty feet of EZ Dock, versus up to seven connection points on ordinary systems. It really is simple and EZ! And, the sections can be assembled on land or in the water.

4. What is inside of EZ Dock?

The EZ Dock one-piece sections contain no fillers or foam for flotation. Their uniquely engineered design forms chambers that displace water and trap air for buoyancy.

5. How hot does EZ Dock get after sitting in the sun all day?

The light color of EZ Dock helps keep the deck surfaces cooler than just about any other deck surface. Shade Structures can always be added to EZ Dock. EZ Dock uses a UV-8 inhibitor in all of its products. These inhibitors range from UV-1 being the lowest protection to UV-8 being the largest protection. We also produce an extremely thick product (about 3/8″ average thickness). The final defense against UV is the light tan color of the dock.

6. How much maintenance does EZ Dock require?

EZ Dock will provide a long-life experience of maintenance-free enjoyment. An occasional wash with soap and water is about all that is required to keep the dock looking new.

7. What anchoring options do I have for my dock?

EZ Dock has several anchoring options including steel pipes, hinge kits, deadweights, and stiff arms. EZ Dock can be anchored in any water condition.

8. Is the deck surface slippery when wet?

The EZ Dock surfaces have a non-skid texture molded into the dock sections. The docks also have grooves to channel the water away. These two items work together to provide safe footing, even when the deck surface is wet.

9. Will the dock damage my boat or personal watercraft?

No. EZ Dock is manufactured out of high-density polyethylene and will not damage any hulls. EZ Dock also manufactures dock bumpers to provide extra security.

10. What gangway options are available?

There are two options when choosing a gangway for EZ Dock: Polyethylene or Aluminum. EZ Dock also offers wooden plank kits.

11. What is the freeboard height for EZ Dock?

Dock sections are 15″ high and will draft about 2″ of water resulting in a really nice 13″ freeboard height.

12. Is EZ Dock environmentally safe?

EZ Dock is just about the most environmentally friendly product that you can put on the water. Our dock sections do not rust, splinter, dissolve, or have any paint or chemicals that can harm the environment.

13. How long has EZ Dock been around?

EZ Dock was started in 1989 by Jack Neitzke and Cliff Vierus. Jack owns a Harbor on the Mississippi near Winoma, MN and had decided to update his entire dock system. As he shopped around and looked at different brands and styles of docks, he felt that everything currently available required too much maintenance, had too many parts, was too difficult to install or change once installed, needed to be taken out in the winter, or was just plain too expensive. Well, Jack explained all this to Cliff, and the two of them set out to design a dock system, which would resolve those issues. In 1991 the first EZ Dock prototype sections were rotational molded and went into use at Jack’s Harbor. Today, those original 78 sections are still in use YEAR ROUND.

14. Is EZ Dock foam-filled? Won’t that cause it to sink?

NO! The Composite Materials Center at Winona State University has performed various tests and measurements on the EZ Dock sections which prove that even if you took a chain saw and opened the dock sections from top to bottom the dock would only lower about 1.6″ further into the water, the interior pylons would each continue to support about 55lbs apiece. This means that the smaller section could continue to support 330 lbs and the larger one would continue to support about 500lbs. Even if you flooded the interior pylons, it still won’t sink under its own load because the density of the polyethylene is less than that of water.

15. Why not use foam? Wouldn’t that be simpler?

While it would have been easier to build a float that contained foam, our advanced structural design has completely eliminated the need for foam. Simply put, our float doesn’t need foam for structural integrity, flotation or for any other reason. Our decision to NOT use foam was based upon the advise we received from water use experts with several different State’s Departments of Natural Resources, and others, like the U.S Army Corps of Engineers. Their concern was for the long range detrimental effects on the environment of foam which could potentially escape if a float is damaged.

16. What happens if my dock becomes damaged?

First, consider that the average wall and deck thickness is anywhere from two to four times thicker than ordinary foam filled floatation devices. So, it’s very unlikely that even under extreme conditions the EZ Dock float/deck would develop a leak. But, if it did, you would simply drain the water and repair the affected area with a heat source like a soldering iron.

17. Aren’t all floating docks tipsy and difficult to walk on, especially in waves?

While there will always be a floating sensation on any floating dock, there are differences between dock designs. The EZ Dock being one long, continuous, float, reduces these effects considerably. Consider the fact that when you walk on a conventional floating dock which uses decking to span between floats, your weight is mostly concentrated on only one float which has about 13 square feet of water-to-float surface contact. But, when you walk on an EZ Dock your weight is distributed over a minimum of 35 square feet of water-to-float contact area. That’s nearly 3 times more area! With regard to wave action, consider that the EZ Dock float/deck section, must because of its length and connection to other sections, rise to the top of waves and therefore bridges them. EZ Dock doesn’t act like a sea serpent trying to be high and low at different points.

18. Can I leave my EZ Dock in during the winter?

Ice, and extreme cold weather do not affect the EZ Dock float/deck. The polyethylene remains flexible to -90 degrees Fahrenheit and the floats are only drafting about 1.5″ of water, meaning that ice pressure will force the float upward, not inward. If you know however that there will be an ice pressure push affecting your installation, we recommend that you remove the pipes or pilings so that the pipes won’t be bent by that force.

19. Is EZ Dock expensive?

It has been said that there are two costs involved with any purchase. The initial cost to buy a product, and the cost of ownership. While there may be other systems available for less money, there are certainly just as many available for more money as well. We never intended for the EZ Dock system to be the cheapest to buy, only the least expensive to own! Our design provides for a long (25 to 30 years expected) and trouble free (rubber couplers provide for flexing and eliminate component fatigue) lifetime of usage.

20. What is the warranty provided by EZ Dock?

EZ Dock provides an 8 year warranty on the floating docks (see warranty). If a dock section should fail due to a manufacturing defect the dock is replaced with a new dock, not a prorated amount but a new replacement dock. EZ Dock provides extended warranty services for up to twenty years based on customer requirements.

While this will answer some questions, we understand that there are many more. If you are interested in EZ Dock and have any questions concerning it, feel free to contact us or give us a call at (800)654-8168.

The Top 5 Reasons to Rent a Floating Dock

by

There are many special occasions that can be held on the water or use a boat dock, but they don’t necessarily need a permanent floating dock setup. A great solution for events is dock rentals. With a temporary installation, you get the best of both worlds—a custom waterfront setup without the long-term commitment.

Whether you’re looking to rent a floating dock for work or play, an experienced waterfront services company can help you out with everything from dock design to installation. Rental options can range from one day to a full year. No matter what the occasion is, EZ Dock can build the perfect floating dock option to meet your needs.

Top 5 Events for Dock Rentals

1. Swim Meet Dock Rentals

Marinas and Parks love to rent docks for their one day or weekend athletic events. With a temporary installation a floating dock rental can transform a body of water, such as a small lake or pond, into the perfect spot to host an open body swim meet. A temporary install will help you run any event flawlessly without a long-term investment.

The best floating docks come with a modular setup that makes renting cost-effective too. Our expert design team will work with your to customize the perfect temporary solution for your event. Designing the dock that fits the needs of your participants and event crew is easy! Just rent whatever dock pieces you need, and there will be plenty of space to be able to walk around or dry-dock for a safe and professional event.

2. Dock Rentals for Regattas

Another popular athletic event for dock rentals is boat or canoe regattas. With EZ Dock’s modular floating dock system, many colleges and universities transform their indoor pools or Natatoriums into the perfect spot for rowing participants. Most rowers prefer EZ Dock’s Low Profile dock sections which allow for safe entry into a canoe due to its low freeboard height close to the water.

3. Construction Platform Rentals

When performing construction near the water it can be difficult to maneuver heavy operating equipment into the proper position. But there’s a way to access everything from the water – with a floating construction platform! Due to their durable construction, EZ Dock sections can support a heavy load. While renting a barge is always an option, EZ Dock can design a floating platform in an economic way.

EZ Dock systems are durable and weather resistant. Constructed out of High Density Polyethylene, EZ Dock sections are built to last for many years to come. Our dock systems are even able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms! With EZ Dock, you’ll never worry about maintenance from rotting, splintering, or rusting.

4. Summer Camp Floating Docks

The top priorities for a summer camp when searching for a dock solution are safety and cost. While most would usually think of a wood dock as the best affordable option for a camp, there is always a safety concern with wooden planks rotting. Fortunately, EZ Dock is the perfect choice that combines the top two needs. With a slip-resistant decking texture, no other option offers the safety that EZ Dock can. The sturdy polyethylene surface is a great upgrade on the old classic wood docks, and renting can be a lot most cost effective than replacing an outdated setup.

5. Dock Rentals for Summer Events

There are many more activities that can be listed on this blog, but we have to narrow it down to 5. Our last great reason to rent a dock is for any summer event you may want to have on the water. Obviously this is a very broad topic, but it can include anything from a concert, a movie theater, or even church! Our modular dock system can be shaped to the perfect arrangement for whatever you may think of. With the durable material, you’ll never have to worry about weather causing damage to the dock while you rent.
