Fish Pier Acc

Our fishing piers offer site-specific torsion systems, wheel kits for easy installation/removal, and non-skid, non-abrasive solid plastic decking, secured with stainless steel carriage bolts, which reduces maintenance costs while analogously safeguarding the environment. Our torsion system has a fixed center position, allowing your pier to shift with the winter ice. The sun heats up the black float, melting the ice, allowing the pier back to its original position. The torsion system temporarily stores the energy from the ice expansion, avoiding float frame and anchoring system damage. Along with our torsion system, we also offer wheel kits. Port-A-Pier's wheel kit, located at the deep end of the pier, allows the customer to lift the shore end of the floating pier with a strap and lifting device such as, a small tractor. Remove two pins, back the tractor away and pull the pier out of the water, storing on shore. In spring, reverse the process for installation. All of the following off decks products are made with matching deck materials, recycled plastic or treated wood, and promote a cost save by purchasing less pier sections while providing increased deck space; off-deck corner fishing stations, off-deck fishing stations, off-deck corner benches, off-deck straight benches.

All of our floating piers including fishing piers are not only designed to comply with ADA, but also excessive water level changes. As seen in the pictures below, this pier was designed to withstand a 30' water fluctuation (right), and go back to the original water level (left) once the water receded.

In 2012, new ADA regulations include IBC (International Building Code), and OSHA regulations, state a 4" sphere cannot pass through any railing, bench, or fishing station except for a 9" gap between fishing stations. The top of the inner hand rail cannot exceed 34" off the deck, and the top railing should be located at 42" off the deck.
