Open grated decking is a popular option, offering durability and a slip-resistant surface.
You might not realize it, but when it comes to dock construction in the Pompano Beach, Florida area, there are many materials that can be used. However, not all those materials offer the durability and functionality you’re looking for, which is why it’s a good idea to have a team like us at Keys Deck and Dock Supply on your side.
We have more than 30 years of combined experience in the industry and are well-versed in all the dock materials available to you, including open-grated decking. Open-grated decking is made of panels with equally spaced sections that allow water and light to pass through. This design makes it ideal for dock construction in both fresh and saltwater locations, where weather exposure, tidal changes, and water flow are constants.
Our customers also choose open-grated decking for its slip-resistant surface. The grating provides natural traction even when wet, which dramatically improves foot traffic safety in recreational or business marinas. Additionally, the open design reduces water collecting and allows for quick drying, lowering the risk of rot, mold, and algae buildup—all major hazards with dock structures.
Additionally, in terms of installation, open-grated decking panels are often lightweight and modular, making them more manageable than hefty timber or composite boards. Even better? Because of their modular design, individual panels can be easily replaced if they get damaged, potentially lowering overall expenses.
