Frequently Asked Questions
Use a high-capacity electric or hand pump (electric pumps will be more efficient and recommended). Inflate just like how you would a paddle board.
Rinse with fresh water after each use (especially if it was in saltwater)Use mild soap and a soft brush or cloth to remove dirtDry thoroughly before storing Avoid dragging over rough surfaces

Use a high-pressure electric pump or the included hand pump. Inflate to the recommended PSI printed on the dock — typically 8-12 PSI for floating platform products. Allow 15-20 minutes for electric inflation. Check all valves are fully closed before use. The dock is ready when the surface feels firm and rigid.
Capacity varies by model size. Check the specific product's rated weight capacity and divide by average adult weight for a conservative person count. Distributing weight evenly across the surface gives the best stability. Avoid concentrated loads in one corner.
Use a kayak or boat anchor with a rope long enough to allow for tide changes. Attach the anchor line to the dock's D-ring anchor points. In lakes or calm water, a cinder block on a rope works as a simple anchor. Always anchor in permitted areas and check local regulations.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every salt water use. Scrub with mild soap for algae or stubborn stains. Deflate completely, dry fully before folding, and store in a cool dry location away from direct sunlight. Never store wet — mould and mildew can develop inside folds.
Yes, but they are best suited to protected bays, lakes, and calm coastal water. Open ocean swells and strong currents are not suitable — the dock can drift or become difficult to re-anchor. Always check conditions before deployment and keep swimming near the dock supervised.
