ThruFlow™ for the home?

ThruFlow gets a phenomenal, non-marine, testimonial

"Hi Derek,

 

I thought I would send you these pics. They are at my house. I put my 36" snowblower on it, chop ice on it, have a 6 man Jacuzzi on it, spill drinks on it , drop cigarettes on it, had puppies pee on it, any abuse you can think of..... it's seen it.

 

Summary: Looks like the day I put it down  (6 years ago).

 

PS: It's also a good puppy dryer.

 

 

Regards,

 

Jeff"

....We couldn't have said it better ourselves Jeff, thanks for the feedback. Check out these pictures, that is one cute puppy (on a nice looking deck!).

ThruFlow™ works for Tough Commercial Applications

"We have been building docks for 5 years. We have used a variety of different kinds of decking. ThruFlow is an attractive, durable, cost-effective option that has become the first choice of our customers.

The unique design enables us to attach the decking to our welded aluminum frames with stainless steel, self-tapping screws. We can work quickly, and we know that every panel will be the same size, and will be free of flaws. Every piece fits perfectly.

Our business is growing quickly, and ThruFlow is always there to help us fill our orders. The standards for commercial docks are tough, but ThruFlow's strength exceeds all requirements. "

"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."

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 1^st, 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

ThruFlow™ decking is almost 50% open, minimizing the lifting effect that waves and storm surge can have on your dock! Ask your Professional Dock Contractor or Engineering Firm about ThruFlow™ decking today and end the madness of building and re-building docks.
