A low-freeboard dock for swimming is called a swimming dock or swim bridge, and a higher-freeboard dock for mooring boats is called a boat dock, boat bridge or floating pier.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much does a floating dock cost?<\/summary>\n<div>The TIIGI swimming dock costs from 380 \u20ac + VAT, ECO is on special offer for 1 150 \u20ac and the SWIM kit with shore support and gangway costs from 1 860 \u20ac (1 500 \u20ac + VAT). We price boat docks with a quote, because the price depends on the size, floats and anchoring. Transport and installation are priced separately.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long and wide can a floating dock be?<\/summary>\n<div>By joining modules you can build a dock of the length you need. TIIGI is 1.2 m wide, ECO 2.4 m, SWIM 2, 2.4 or 3 m and the BOAT boat dock 2.4 m. One module is 2 to 6 m long.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How does a floating dock stay in place?<\/summary>\n<div>A floating dock is anchored with concrete blocks and chains or with screw piles and chains. A shore support on screw piles is usually installed on the shore, and a gangway leads from it to the dock.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens to a floating dock in winter?<\/summary>\n<div>The dock can freeze into the ice, but the ice must not move. If the ice on your lake or river moves, the floating dock must be lifted out of the water for the winter.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do you install the floating dock yourselves?<\/summary>\n<div>Yes, we deliver and install across Estonia. Before the quote we inspect the site for free and make an installation plan with the price.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<div class=\"band\">\n<div>\n<h2>Not sure which dock is right?<\/h2>\n<p>We will inspect the site for free and recommend a solution with the price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"btns\"><a class=\"btn btn-o\" href=\"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/contact\/\">Request a free quote<\/a><a class=\"btn btn-l\" href=\"tel:+37253888717\">Call +372 5388 8717<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-51904","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51904"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51923,"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/51904\/revisions\/51923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sillad.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
