Brackets

Reliable Connections for Every Dock Configuration

Floating dock brackets are the uncelebrated hardware that keeps a modular waterfront system firmly in place while still allowing natural movement under wind, wave, and tide. After you have chosen your preferred Floating Docks or expanded with Modular Floating Docks, the next priority is selecting the right bracket style, finish, and fastener set to match site conditions. Boat Float offers a full catalog of Wave Armor mounting brackets, each engineered from heavy-gauge aluminum or hot-dipped galvanized steel so they resist corrosion in brackish and saltwater environments.

How the Right Bracket Protects Your Investment

A well-matched bracket absorbs lateral loads from boat wakes and seasonal storms, reducing stress on dock joints and preventing premature wear on connection pins. Because each set mounts above the waterline, periodic inspections happen safely from the deck rather than in the water, saving time and avoiding the hazards of submerged bolts. Wave Armor designs several bracket profiles, including seawall plates that spread load across concrete surfaces, piling collars that clamp securely around round timber posts, and adjustable bulkhead arms that adapt to varying tidal ranges common along South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway.

Key Advantages at a Glance

Engineered strength and durability: Thick-wall aluminum or steel stock handles repeated shock loading, while TIG-welded seams maintain alignment over thousands of tide cycles. A marine-grade coating or galvanization layer blocks rust, and pre-drilled drain holes prevent standing water that could accelerate corrosion.

Flexible installation options: Slotted mounting holes provide slight adjustment during installation, ensuring proper dock alignment even if pilings are not perfectly plumb. Integrated hinge sleeves allow the dock to rise and fall freely without loosening hardware, maintaining a quiet, low-maintenance connection for years.

Low long-term maintenance: Semi-annual checks involve inspecting cotter pins and re-torquing bolts—tasks most owners complete in minutes with basic tools. When a future layout change calls for relocation, the same bracket can often be moved and reused, trimming project costs and downtime.

Professional Sizing and Installation Support

Choosing between a seawall mount, a stationary piling bracket, or a sliding pole system depends on shoreline depth, soil type, and prevailing wave energy. Boat Float’s factory-trained team reviews site photos, tide data, and anchoring points before recommending a bracket kit. Our installers arrive with stainless fasteners, marine-grade sealants, and torque-calibrated tools, ensuring each bracket seats flush and performs to specification from day one.
