Aqua-Dek is a finished decking system for fresh or saltwater docks, walkways and decks. It is a lightweight, strong and durable alternative to traditional and heavier decking materials like wood and plastic lumber. Aqua-Dek is designed
to be installed over a wood, aluminum or steel framework, and offers advantages for dock builders and dock owners.

Advantages
- 24" x36" and 24” x 48” panel sizes reduce installation time
  over typical 12” wide panels
- 18" and 24” on center mounting reduces framework stringers and frame cost
- Easy to install... predrilled, countersunk mounting hole; overlapping panels
- Weighing just 6.4 and 8.5 lbs, each panel provides a 1200 lbs/sq.ft. load rating
- Full UV resistance and anti-static protection built into all panels
- Non-slip surface that stays cool even in the hot summer sun
- Suitable for fresh and saltwater environments
- Slotted surface provides  45% open area for sunlight penetration, water and
  debris to pass through
- Panel slots helps minimize storm surge and wave effects
- Zero maintenance for dock owner - Available in white, sand or grey
- 15-year manufacturer's warranty against defect

The Aqua-Dek panels are easy to install and designed specifically to mount on 18" or 24” center framing (see figure 1) without a loss of support strength, and reducing the structural frame members needed.

Each panel has six pre-drilled and countersunk mounting holes to accept # 10 or #12 pan head screws (stainless steel recommended). The screws need to be hand tightened only to allow for slight expansion and contraction of the panels due to air temperature changes. Each panel has a 1/2” flange on one side so the next panel will overlap the first for a seamless fit.
