## A floating jetty in an afternoon

Float Pods are 500mm cubes in HMW HDPE that pin together into a floating jetty or dock as long and as wide as you want. Pins, bolts and spacers are included, the surface is anti-slip, and you can reconfigure the layout any time.

**From NZ$540 per m²** NZ$135 per pod incl. fittings · 4 per m²

Imported Dockpro system, shipped from stock.

## Boardwalks that float over wetland, mud and shallow water

Walk Pods are low, square pods that sit under a timber walkway frame. No piles driven into sensitive ground, and the walkway rises and falls with the water.

**From NZ$382 per m²** NZ$550 per pod · 1 per 1.44 m² · about AU$351 per m²

### Jet ski docks & dinghy launches

Low freeboard and a drive-on edge make Float Pods the easy way to build a jet ski dock or a drive-on boat dock for kayaks and dinghies (New Zealand supply).

### Resort access jetties

Guest landings and access jetties for resorts and lodges, shipped to the Pacific and assembled on site.

## Foreshore and waterway permissions

### New Zealand

Structures in the coastal marine area, lakes and rivers usually need a resource consent from your regional council. Talk to them before ordering, and we'll supply the specifications they ask for.

### Australia

Jetties and pontoons generally need approval from the state waterways authority and sometimes the local council. Requirements vary by state and waterway. See our [consents guide](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/guides/pontoon-consent-nz-australia/).

Pontoon Marine Systems take no responsibility for incorrect usage or for any local permissions or approvals that may be required for the installation of these products.

## Questions about floating docks and walkways

### Do I need a consent for a floating jetty or dock?

Usually. In New Zealand talk to your regional council; in Australia, your state waterways authority and local council.

### What about tides?

A floating dock rises and falls with the tide, so the deck stays at the same height above the water. Gangways and mooring are set up for your tidal range.

### How long does assembly take?

Float Pods pin and bolt together in about an hour for a small jetty. Walk Pod walkways depend on the timber frame.

### How is a floating jetty or dock anchored?

With chains or ropes to mooring blocks, or with pile hoops where piles already exist. The right method depends on depth, tide and exposure.

### Can I mix pod types?

Yes. A Main Pod landing with a Float Pod finger, or a Walk Pod walkway leading to a Float Pod jetty, are common combinations.
