When we say SunWalk® Marine Decking is built to endure the elements, we mean it. From the sweltering heat of summer to the icy grip of winter, SunWalk decking has proven it can handle it all. But just how tough is SunWalk? For that answer, look no further than episode five of The Dockman, where a 1,800-pound UTV drives across a SunWalk®-decked dock—on a Michigan winter day! Watch the action unfold and see firsthand why SunWalk is their go-to choice for decking that performs in every season.
A Real-World Test of Durability
In The Dockman Season 1, Episode 5, the dock experts at Waters Edge in Michigan take on a unique building challenge that culminates in driving a 4×4 Side-by-Side across a long floating bridge/dock decked out with our SunWalk® 90-Series Marine Decking. The dock, built with dock sections fabricated by Great Lakes Docks, was about to experience 1,800 pounds of real-life durability testing. The question: Could the decking handle this weight on a winter’s day when many materials become brittle?
The answer? Absolutely! The UTV drove smoothly across the decking without a hitch, a testament to SunWalk’s superior durability and structural integrity—even in freezing temperatures.
Why SunWalk® Decking Stands Out
What makes SunWalk® decking different? It’s all in the design. SunWalk’s proprietary open-surface design and microcellular core provide a unique blend of strength, flexibility, and minimal maintenance that you won’t find in typical decking materials. Here are the key features that keep SunWalk tough all year round:
- Strength Under Pressure: SunWalk’s microcellular core and advanced material construction mean it’s not only lightweight but strong enough to support rigorous marine use.
- Winter Durability: Many plastics can become brittle and vulnerable in cold weather, but SunWalk’s material is engineered for resilience. Our decking keeps its strength and durability in icy conditions, giving waterfront property owners and marina operators peace of mind.
- Virtually No Maintenance: Our decking is designed to last with minimal upkeep, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking to enjoy their dock rather than maintain it.
