Owned this dock for 7+ years. works exactly as shown. My primary reason to buy this is it the ONLY one i could find that is truly ONE person install and ONE person removal. NEVER get wet! Adjustable legs use simple CAM lock (1/4 turn) using docks own weight to remain tight. Other docks try to use screws/bolts which can never be tightened enough to work. Every leg is individually adjustable so dock is always level front/back and side-to-side. Same price as the "one-piece" docks with wheels, but those require a hired truck or tractor to install/remove. so i save $300 every year and deep tracks in my yard! I have owned 4 different dock before this over 40 years. This one is the winner, hands down. Carl and his staff are excellent for any and all support.

Thanks Dan for the post. I am deciding between this and Solo.

Looks good, and being easy to remove is a must on Canadian lakes to prevent dock being carried away by the spring ice break up.

I have owned one of Carls piers for about 6 years now and I luv it. Yes the bottom of the lake constantly changes but it is very easy to adjust for the small changes that happen year to year. I put it in and take it out by myself, it is as easy as it looks, The pier is also very stable.

You have such a great group of workers! No hesitantcy at all in job and materials!

Thank you for your nice comment Betty, we think so too!

That Is An Awesome Way To Install A Dock. I Like This, Thank You Carl.

Simpy a great Idea. Thanks.Looks beautiful too.

I have had this pier system for four years now - works exactly as shown. If the lake bed changes from one year to the next, the legs can easily be adjusted up or down using a quarter turn of the cam bolt. However, it can be difficult for one person to put in and take out if you are not either tall or young and strong! My wife and I are in our 60's and it takes both of us to put it in and take it out.

Why would you ever need to take it out of the water?

Just keep adding segments. Very nice.

How are the legs adjusted for depth of water?

This video is so therapeutic

thats relaxing to see it

Great invention

It is trully best design i saw so far.

We ask for water depth at the shore and end of pier as well as bottom type- hard, silty, muddy or mucky. We add 30" to the measurement for leg lengths at each depth and footpads for the type of bottom. This gives you the ability to adjust each section to its depth and bottom. If you check customer testimonies on our Facebook page, you will read from them that it really is this easy. Really!!

To Debra Bouche - Since many of the questions are about installation in non level lake bottoms, why does the video not show the process? really!!

What to do if the lake bottom isn't the same distance/depth for each section?

Good job

Daryl, lake bottoms don't have to be perfect. Our legs adjust easily with any depth up to 13 feet of water (But if that deep, deep water bracing would be needed and probably an extraction boom to help with removal) If you're interested, one of our salespeople could work with you!

@ayumi-pierofdnort6586

5 жыл бұрын

@@traviswright136 The extraction boom allows to you slowly lower your pier instead of flipping it over. It also allows you to pull the pier out the same way it's installed - feet first. However the intended way to remove each frame is to pull it towards you, only the section that you are standing on. You can take a look at the removal video for more information!

Looks good. Now how do you get it back out of the water at the end of the season?

Amazing 👍

Holy insta-dock Batman! Carl if this material holds up well to brackish/salt water you have a HUGE market in Florida where many houses on canals that lead to the Intra-Coastal don't have docks but would like one for pontoon boats. The water being on average about 5' deep. Connect up with Real estate agents who are selling homes and might want an easy option to offer buys. Heck, you could get someone to use Google Earth and see what houses need but don't have docks and snail mail a brochure...

Install looks easy, how do you take it out?

OK...! I see ... Thank you....!

Super Cool! How do I adjust the leg height?

Is there a website I can go to , to look at pricing and such..? Thanks.

I have two issues beyond a level bottom. (1) What accomodations are there for a soft bottom(mud, sand, silt,etc.)? (2) I see a big problem with a thunderstorm if the decking is also aluminum.

+Lisa Deck (LisaWithTheVizsla1) Lisa, the foot pads work on rock, sand, mud. unique 15 degree angle on the pads allows for simple removal at end of season, even if sunk deep into mud. The whole design is an engineers dream. simple and yet works. the deck sections are alum frame with either cedar or trex planks. each section has two simple hold downs that are spring loaded. and fully accessible from the top side for release. Storms- it has weathered some strong storms in 7 years, 2-3 ft waves. but yes, a F3 tornado did lift it apart, but we simply put sections back together (with a few new parts from Carl). NOTE: neighbors one-piece wheeled docks were fully destroyed in that tornado and they had to buy new docks! Winner - Pier d'Nort

Lisa - we have GOOD news! For bottoms where you know that you would sink in ~8” or more, we would recommend our latest and largest “Giant Pads.” These measure 2ft by 3ft. This proprietary system offers an unparalleled and never before available solution to otherwise unworkable locations. New for 2017. We highly suggest not being on or near an aluminum pier in a thunderstorm, and even though our vinyl decking will absorb some, it's still JUST NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE! : /

How do you know exactly how long to make each leg so that the dock is level? I see you just dropping the pieces in the water and everything is already level.

This would be perfect if the bottom of the lake is perfect but, I don't know of any lake that has a perfect bottom. Most are soft and muddy, uneven rocks, steep sloping edge. Good luck !

Please email us at Pierre@pierofdnort.com or give us a call at 715-941-4707 if you'd like to find out more.

Yeah but WHAT DOES IT COST? ...and as others have said, what if the Bottom is NOT level? These videos always try to make it look like it's perfectly simple and never a problem. NOT !

Wtf

Don't use in salt water. Salt water would eat that aluminum in a year

Why over priced. To the point of being just silly.
