Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike has come and gone and we have all seen the images of the destruction left in it's wake.

The stories that we are hearing about EZ Dock are that the majority of the docks that were installed in the path of Ike fared very well. Most floated to the top of or over the top of their anchoring pipes. The docks that were tethered to something solid stayed put. The docks that were not tethered ended up other places, but intact. These have mostly been recovered and restored to their previous location. We had other docks that were in areas that were hammered by high winds and waves crashing 5' or more over the bulkhead. We suffered a few broken couplers and a couple of scuffed up pipe brackets, but again, the docks survived when wooden docks all around were disappearing into loose boards and scrap wood.

The more we learn, the more we are amazed by just how tough the EZ Dock System is.
