A floating dock floats in the water and maintains the dry area between the water and the base of the dock. A pier is stationed into the ground, under the water. This enables the dock to fluctuate with the water.Steel docks are the preferred dock if you are considering adding a roof system to your dock.inger Docks generally require additional flotation at the end of the dock to reduce deflection. Depending on your site conditions, several types of anchoring can be used, including; cables, winches, underwater chain anchors, and spud poles.

The largest use of zinc is as a protective coating for iron. The process is called galvanizing with reference to the cathodic protection the zinc offers to the iron. The name was coined by Sorel, who patented the process in 1836. Some sources say that galvanizing began at Swansea, at the early zinc smelter, in 1740.
