Many times we are asked how EZ Dock products hold up in the Texas sun. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to visit an installation that we did for the U.S. Navy at the Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base (NAS/JRB). This dock was installed in the fall of 2002. The installation consisted of 54 boat slips anchored with pipe anchors and heavy duty pipe brackets. The dock is actually administered by the Morale, Welfare, & Recreation(MWR) department of the military for recreational use by both active duty and retired military personnel. Marina slips are rented on a monthly or annual basis. Even though there were not boats in every slip, they tell us that on weekends, all slips are full.

After a thorough examination of the dock, we found absolutely no sign of any wear in the materials at all. All deck surfaces felt strong and showed no sign of any impact of UV or the Texas heat. Other than a little dirt and a few "souvenirs" left by some resident seagulls, the dock looks great!
