Innovative Modular Boardwalk System: Strength & Flexibility
Our proprietary modular boardwalk system is at the heart of what makes our boardwalks exceptional. Designed for efficiency, durability, and minimal environmental impact, this system features:
- Galvanized Steel Foundations: Utilizing robust steel "pans" (including specialized Swamp Pans for wet conditions) and adjustable brackets for superior support and longevity, even in harsh wetland environments where other methods might fail.
- Prefabricated Panels: High-quality treated lumber panels (typically brown stained) are constructed for consistent quality and faster on-site assembly. Panels are typically built in 8-foot sections.
- Versatile Design: Our unique brackets (Straight, Universal Turn, Inside Corner) allow boardwalks to follow curves, make turns, and incorporate features like bump-outs seamlessly.
- Easy Installation & Adjustment: The modular design allows for rapid installation, often with minimal equipment, reducing site disruption. It also enables easy future adjustments or re-leveling if needed due to settling or frost heave, without full disassembly.
- DIY Boardwalk Kits: Prefer to use your own crew? We offer complete Boardwalk Kits with detailed instructions, utilizing the same high-quality components.
