Cook County Minnesota "L" Dock with removeable swim raft.
Jim and crew pick up 24 feet of dock to be installed that day at their camp - it is heavy out of water but weightless on the water - drags easily at idle speed to your location. The hinge is sitting on top of the 16 foot dock section in this picture as it was delivered to the boat launch. We dropped those pieces into the water on Rainy Lake just before the 4th and they were on their way just after 6am! The two other crew members actually decided to sleep in on this particular day - something about being out late the night before!
Note the hazy sky conditions due to the fires in Saskatchewan. Fire crews are struggling with over 100 wildfires and the smoke is noticeable well down into Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Thanks to John for forwarding this outstanding picture of your finished installation and our first of the 2016 season - on Deer Yard Lake.
Minnesota multi section dock - 4 foot wide x 12 foot long "hinge" connected to 8x16 with 8x12 on end. The 8x12 could be disconnected and anchored out a bit to be used as a swim raft! Pictures in the gallery show the hinge on top of the 8x16, being towed to site with pontoon boat - 8x12 was installed the next day.

The second delivery of 2016 to Elbow Lake Minnesota. Thanks Jim for meeting us at the launch and helping with the dismount of your new 6x16 floating dock!
Scott and Fred just pushed this one into the water in Northern Minnesota and the boat behind will easily pull it over to the new owners dock site.
A multiple section U shaped dock provides ample space to park a deHavilland Beaver - this one just installed in late June.
Just because the shoreline is rocky does not mean we cannot create a floating masterpiece for you too!!

Ash River gets 2 feet of floating dock in June 2017 - all of ours are built to be modular and additional length can be added - Thanks Chuck!
This dock delivered in mid June 2017 was to a water access only spot and we of course were going to work around the shoreline trees, especially the Cedar to the right in the picture. All materials were transported by boat to the site and the finished dock is 32 feet long with a narrower 6.5 foot gangplank to the dock. Note the "shore crib" in about 6 inches of water at high water in late spring. Thanks Nancy, this was a fun site to build this dock on!
28 feet of dock going down the road to our friends at Hungry Jack Lodge. Later this summer, we hope to find a float plane moored to the side of this dock. An aspiring float plane pilot is pictured on top, poised to start training in a few years.
Noah appears in 2017 as quality control engineer and final installation site specialist. Although these pictures were taken on different days, he seems to wear the same shirt most days when working with Dad!
Late July at Hungry Jack Lodge sees two more docks in the water around the point. Notice the "Shore Anchor" sitting mostly out of the water and tucked in close on the shore. These docks have floats on all ends and will be disconnected in fall by pulling two pins. Once these pins are out, the 28 feet of dock will float to a quiet end of this lake for winter storage anchored in the shallows. This particular site sees much snowmobile traffic and they could present a hazard when covered by snow.
The "from shore" view shows a 6 foot wide approach ramp to the "Shore Anchor".
