Dock decking requires materials that can withstand constant exposure to water, sun, and fluctuating weather conditions. Choosing the right decking for your dock is crucial to ensure longevity, safety, and aesthetic appeal. MoistureShield composite decking from Sherwood Lumber is an ideal choice for dock decking due to its superior durability, low maintenance, and environmental benefits. Here’s why MoistureShield composite decking is perfect for your dock project.
Benefits of MoistureShield Composite Decking for Docks
Exceptional Durability: MoistureShield composite decking is engineered to resist moisture, making it highly suitable for docks and other waterfront applications. Unlike traditional wood, which can rot, warp, or crack due to prolonged exposure to water, MoistureShield decking maintains its structural integrity and appearance over time.
Slip Resistance: Safety is a top priority for any dock. MoistureShield composite decking features a slip-resistant surface, providing better traction even when wet. This reduces the risk of slips and falls, ensuring a safer environment for everyone using the dock.
Low Maintenance: Maintaining a dock can be challenging, especially when using materials that require regular upkeep. MoistureShield decking is virtually maintenance-free. It does not need painting, staining, or sealing, and cleaning is as simple as washing with soap and water. This allows you to enjoy your dock without the hassle of constant maintenance.
Fade and Stain Resistance: Exposure to sunlight and water can cause traditional wood decking to fade and stain over time. MoistureShield composite decking is designed to resist fading and staining, ensuring your dock looks beautiful and vibrant for years. Its color is infused throughout the material, preventing chipping or peeling.
Environmental Benefits: MoistureShield composite decking is made from recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices. Choosing composite decking helps reduce deforestation and minimizes waste, making it an eco-friendly option for your dock.

Extended Living Space: Transform your dock into an extension of your outdoor living space. Add comfortable seating, shade structures, and decorative elements to create a relaxing area for lounging, fishing, or enjoying the view. MoistureShield’s variety of colors and finishes allows you to design a dock that complements your home and landscape.
Waterfront Dining: Create a unique dining experience by setting up an outdoor kitchen or dining area on your dock. Use durable, weather-resistant furniture and appliances to withstand the elements. MoistureShield’s robust construction ensures your dining area remains stable and attractive, even in harsh conditions.
Recreational Area: Enhance your dock with recreational features such as a built-in bench, storage for water sports equipment, or even a small bar. MoistureShield composite decking provides a sturdy and reliable surface for various activities, making your dock a versatile space for fun and entertainment.
