The Blue Ridge Platform Dock Kit
A complete floating platform dock with a 4′ wide gangway with handrails to get you from the bank to the dock. It’s a great fit for fishing, swimming, tying up a kayak or just sitting on the water.
Choose your options
- Platform: 8’x8′, 10’x10′, 12’x12′, 16’x16′ or 20’x20′.
- Gangway: 4’x20′, 4’x24′ or 4’x30′ with handrails. Longer gangways reach farther out from the bank and handle bigger water level swings.
- Decking: concrete pavers, 5/4 treated wood or Ultradeck Rustic composite.

Key features
- Steel frames: 12″ tall galvanized box truss frames, welded at our shop in Marion, IL and hot-dip galvanized.
- Warranty: 5-year structural warranty on Blue Ridge-built frames.
- Floats: DPI encapsulated floats, set flush with every free end and side of the frames, so no part of the dock hangs past a float. Floats are sized for each option so the deck rides 18″ or more above the water and still shows at least 3″ of float with a full load of people on it, with no more than 8′ between floats. Any leveling ballast (concrete pavers) is listed on the packing list.
- Pre-assembly: decking and fascia are installed at our shop before the kit ships.
- Fascia: cedar-color Ultradeck Rustic cladding on paver and composite kits; 5/4 treated wood on wood kits.
- Anchoring: two 21′ mudpole anchors with galvanized collars and caps.
- Hardware: heavy-duty Blue Ridge gangway bracket sets and all frame bolt hardware.
