ThruFlow™ installation makes for happy customer.
"I must say that working with the ThruFlow™ product was very easy and it all went together very quickly. I was impressed with the strength of the sections and how effective the surface area was in preventing slipping. This was especially noted on the gangway when the tide was low and the float was down quite an angle from the dock. It sure gave me complete confidence about my safety. I would highly recommend ThruFlow™ for any marine application."
- Bud (Adrian) Denno

ThruFlow™ topped dock survives Ernesto's worst!
The ThruFlow™ Premium Decking System again cited as the cause for dock's storm survival. Read on:
“I live just south of Morehead City NC. Bogue Sound is 2 1/2 miles wide in front of my house. I have a 300 ft long pier with a 20' X 20' T-Head. This pier was 18 months old when Hurricane Ophelia hit on 15 sept 2005. We had sustained winds of 90 to 100 MPH, and a storm surge of 7 ft. My entire pier was destroyed. I rebuilt the pier 4 ft wide on 16" stringers. The Thru-Flow decking was attached to 8 ft alum stringers with the intent to remove the decking upon approaching storms. When Hurricane Ernesto came on September 1st, 2007, I started taking up the 8 foot sections. At the very end of the pier I left 13 panels as a test, well secured. When the wind increased I abandoned the last 8 or 10 panels which were only tacked in the corners of each 8 ft section. This area had sustained 70 to 80 MPH winds and a 3 to 5 ft surge. The next morning all the panels near shore were found in the neighbors yard, intact in their 8 ft sections. The 13 well secured panels at the end of the pier were still in place. UNDISTURBED!!!! My neighbors were astounded that the panels survived the storm. I have since attached the entire pier in the same manor. At full moon high tide a large wake from a passing boat will pass through my pier as if it weren't there. It is quite amazing. Anyone in this area with interest in Thru-Flow is welcome to visit and inspect my pier. I have 3 neighbors who also have Thru-flow piers.”
Sincerely, J. Wickstead

ThruFlow™ decking praised in survival of Florida Dock from Hurricane Wilma
ThruFlow™ decking panels have been identified yet again as the main concern why a dock has survived a Hurricane. Read on:
"(We) built a dock using ThruFlow™ decking for a customer in Key Largo, Florida. The dock has survived three hurricanes that have hit the area, the latest Wilma, having had a nine foot storm surge. This dock, constructed with ThruFlow™ decking, is the only dock in the area to have survived all the storms. I and my customer believe that the fact that this dock survived these punishing storms is a directly attributable to ThruFlow™ decking."
- Geoff Schienger - Gulf Breezes Construction
