Drop-in Installation.
More flexibility.

Premier’s large drop-in panels simplify installation, with a 16-inch unreinforced span and a reinforced 24-inch option. That gives you greater design flexibility while maintaining the open-tread, maintenance-free waterfront performance of the Plus series.

Water flows through, light reaches below

Premier’s open-tread design allows water to pass through the panels while natural light reaches the area beneath the dock. By reducing the continuous shade created by a solid surface, it can help support aquatic vegetation and the habitat around it - an important consideration for environmentally sensitive waterfronts.

Span comparison

Reinforced strength across longer spans

The reinforced 24-inch span option may reduce the number of structural supports required for certain projects. That can simplify the supporting layout while preserving the open-tread water performance expected from Sure Step.
