Our 10’ x 20’ concrete docks are constructed with sealed, solid, closed-cell polystyrene foam blocks, reinforced with rebar throughout and encased in wire mesh for additional support and strength. A four-inch casing of concrete is poured around the polystyrene and evenly distributed to ensure the dock will be level followed by a vibration of the perimeter to settle the concrete.
