Blue Ridge Commercial-Grade Box Truss Boat Dock Frames

Strength Without Compromise. Fabricated in the USA.

When it comes to the foundation of your waterfront, “good enough” isn’t good enough. Blue Ridge Boat Docks specializes in heavy-duty, galvanized steel box truss frames designed for those who prioritize structural integrity and long-term peace of mind.

Our frames aren’t just built; they’re over-engineered. While the industry standard often cuts corners to save on weight and cost, we use a tighter support window and heavier steel to ensure your dock remains rock-solid for decades.

The Blue Ridge Advantage

• Superior Support Spacing: We space our frame cross-supports at a maximum of 3′ apart. This is significantly closer than the leading industry standard, resulting in unmatched stability and a rigid walking surface that won’t flex or bounce.

• Heavy-Duty Materials: All Blue Ridge dock frames are constructed from high-strength 2″ x 2″ x 3/16″ and 1″ x 1″ x 3/16″ angle iron – far surpassing the industry standard.

• Hot-Dipped Galvanized: Every frame is fully welded first, then hot-dip galvanized. This ensures every nook, cranny, and weld is sealed against corrosion from the elements. These frames will stand the test of time.

• USA Steel: We believe in quality you can trust. Every frame is fabricated right here in the USA using 100% American steel.

Optional Heavy-Duty Handrails

Extend the safety and functionality of your waterfront with our optional handrail system, built to the same rugged standards as our dock frames:

• Optimal Height: Standing at a secure 39.5″ tall (measured from the top of the frame to the top of the handrail).

• Uncompromising Strength: Fabricated entirely out of our heavy-duty 2″ x 2″ x 3/16″ angle iron for maximum rigidity.

• Thoughtful Design: Each handrail is expertly tapered in 6″ from each end for a clean, professional finish.

• ADA Accessibility: We proudly offer ADA-compliant handrail options to ensure safe access for everyone. Please contact our office at 618-294-6905 for specific pricing and details regarding ADA handrails.

Versatile Decking Compatibility

Our box truss frames are designed to be the “universal donor” of dock systems. Whether you prefer the classic look of wood or the low maintenance of modern materials, these frames are fabricated to accept the following decking options:

• Treated Wood Decking

• Composite Decking

• Aluminum Decking

• Concrete Pavers

• And more!

Support spacing comes standard at 24″ centers. Supports can be adjusted during fabrication to meet your specific needs if required. Please contact our office at 618-294-6905 for more information.

Important Shipping Information

Please Note: Displayed pricing does not include shipping. Because of their size and weight, galvanized frames ship by freight. After you order, we get a real freight rate for your address and send it to you, and nothing ships until you approve it. Free pickup at our Marion shop and Blue Ridge local delivery ($100 within 50 driving miles, $200 within 100) are also available.

“You get what you pay for.”
Our frames may carry a higher price tag than the bargain-bin manufacturers, but the extra investment buys you a dock that won’t need replacing in ten years. Don’t sacrifice quality to save a buck—build it right the first time with Blue Ridge.
