Decking Options
Your decking choice is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when designing your dock. Landmark offers a carefully selected range of high-performance materials — including PVC, traditional wood, and FRP (fiberglass-reinforced polymer) decking — each chosen for durability, safety, and long-term performance in Okanagan and Shuswap Lake environments. We guide homeowners through the advantages of each material, helping you compare appearance, slip resistance, heat performance, and required maintenance.
Composite decking provides a clean, modern aesthetic with excellent durability and low upkeep. FRP decking is an exceptional option for homeowners who want industry-leading strength, superior grip, and unmatched longevity in wet conditions. Wood continues to be a timeless choice, offering natural warmth and traditional dock appeal. No matter which material you choose, Landmark installs each deck board with precision for a seamless, attractive finish that enhances both the look and lifespan of your dock system.
FRP Decking
FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) decking is a high-performance decking solution designed for demanding dock and marina environments where safety, durability, and low maintenance are critical. Exceptionally strong yet lightweight, FRP decking offers excellent load-bearing capacity while reducing stress on dock structures. Its molded, non-slip surface provides superior traction in wet conditions, making it ideal for residential docks, commercial marinas and high-traffic waterfront areas. FRP is highly resistant to corrosion, rot, UV exposure, and chemicals, and will not warp or degrade in freshwater environments. With a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, FRP decking is a practical, cost-effective choice for docks, marinas, and piers.
PVC Decking
Landmark offers high-quality PVC decking on our dock systems for homeowners, marinas, and commercial waterfront applications seeking the appearance of natural wood without the maintenance requirements. Engineered from advanced PVC materials, this decking provides excellent durability, impact resistance, and long-term color stability. Unlike traditional wood decking, PVC will not warp, rot, crack, or splinter, making it well suited for demanding lakeshore and marine environments.
PVC decking also provides a safe and comfortable walking surface, with strong slip resistance and reduced heat buildup compared to many conventional decking materials. Because it contains no wood fibers and resists moisture absorption, it performs reliably in wet conditions while requiring minimal upkeep. The result is a durable, low-maintenance decking option that maintains its appearance and performance for many years in waterfront settings.
Cedar Decking
Cedar decking is a natural, time-tested material that offers warmth, durability, and excellent performance in waterfront environments. Naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, cedar performs well in moist conditions without the need for chemical treatment. Its lightweight strength reduces stress on dock structures while providing a comfortable, non-slip surface underfoot, even when wet. Cedar’s natural insulating properties help keep dock surfaces cooler in summer months, and its rich grain and appearance age gracefully over time. When properly maintained, cedar decking provides an attractive, functional, and environmentally responsible decking option for docks and marinas. Fir options are also available.
