Where is this project?
Satellite Beach, Florida, on the Space Coast. Dockside Builders is based in Sebastian and builds across the Treasure Coast and Space Coast, including docks, boat houses and boat lifts in Satellite Beach. Space Coast waterfronts face hurricane-season wind, storm surge, flooding and king tides, so this build features marine-grade pilings, deep penetration, stainless hardware and a Category 5 lift from our partner Hurricane Marine Products.
How is this build designed for hurricanes, storm surge, flooding and king tides?
The dock structure uses 8-inch marine-grade pilings with 6 ft minimum penetration, spaced 10 ft on center or less and vinyl wrapped to 18 inches above mean high water, with stainless fasteners throughout the framing and decking. The hip-style roof uses 9-inch pilings with 8 ft minimum penetration, double stainless through-bolts and straps and 2.5-inch stainless hurricane clips on the rafters. The 13,000 lb lift is a Category 5 Signature Series cradle lift from our partner Hurricane Marine Products, with DeepGroove winders and cable keepers, stainless cables and four 10-inch marine pilings at 10 ft minimum penetration. Those details are specified so the dock, roof and lifts are built for Florida waterfront conditions.
What permits and engineering does a Satellite Beach dock need?
The project scope includes signed and sealed structural drawings from a licensed Florida engineer, plus all federal, state and local permits required for the dock, boat house roof and lifts.
What materials go into the dock, roof and lifts?
This build features superior materials throughout: marine-grade pilings, pressure-treated structural framing, premium capped composite decking, 5V crimp metal roofing and aluminum and stainless lift components. We work with only the best distributors, our partners. The cradle lift is a Category 5 Signature Series model from our partner Hurricane Marine Products, specified with UHS drive gear, remote control, auto-stop, DeepGroove winders with cable keepers and stainless cables.
