Comparison with aluminum or PVC swim platforms?
We offer many more design options than the competition. Our have more color options, are lightweight, easy to remove from the water easy to repair if damaged and ....... costs a lot less.

How are they anchored?
We do not anchor any of the structures. They are designed to be easily taken out of the water. To keep them from floating we recommend the use of ballast/weights.

What is the weight limit?
The standard weight limit for active play on "land" is 110 lbs (50kg). We have had adults over 200 lbs stand on them without any issues. In water you can increase weight by at least 20% due to the buoyancy factor.

Caution: They are not to be used as "trampolines" - or the panels may crack.

How safe are they?
The structures are rugged and designed to work in an adult supervided environment. The degree of safety is 100% the responsibility of the users and/or supervisors. See our page on Safety

As there is a possibility of kids trying to swim underneath the platform, we recommend that you purchase no-climb nylon netting (1/2" holes) that you can attach with plastic ties. We do not provide the netting or the ties.

How easy are they to assemble?
We provide detailed step-by-step, level-by-level instructions. Requires basic handyman skills. The smallest designs take a few minutes, the larger ones take several hours.

What happens if a component accidentally breaks?
Simple. Take it out and replace it with a new piece. 2 minutes.

Are they easy to move?
Yes. The smaller units weigh 20-30 lbs and can be moved by a single person. You have to let the water drain out of the structures before moving.

We do not include wheels with the systems, but you can either create your own dolly or you can order additional parts to temporarily add wheels. (See Wheels Flyer) . Do not use the wheels while in the water or it stresses the structure frame.

How do you ship?
Each system is shipped as an unassembled kit (tubes, connectors, panels, screws etc) packed in cartons and delivered by Fedex. The cost of shipping will vary with the size/weight of the cartons and the destination. We can ship internationally.

Can they be used on vinyl liners?
Yes - assuming that you have a firm base underneath the liner. All the components are "rounded" - and have no sharp edges to cut or damage the liner. Also each structure has a broad footprint to spead out the weight of kids standing or sitting on it.

Are the panels slippery?
Try it first with just the basic panel surfacing. The panels are made of smooth polyethelyene and do not have a pebbled or non-slip surface. You have the option of spray painting with a on-slip plastic paint (eg Plastikote) or applying shower/bathetub non-slip stickers. We do not supply either the paint or the stickers.

How do you clean?
You can use any non-abrasive household cleaner. If you use abrasive cleaners it will take the shine off the thermoplastic.

Can they be used in chorinated water?
Yes. The components are made of thermoplastics (polyethylene and polypropelene) and can be safely used in all types of water including salt and chlorinated water.

Can the designs be modified?
Yes. The modular system allows you to change the design any way you want. Many of our customers have downloaded the 3-D program and created their own tot docks from scratch. Think of our system as a "large scale" Lego set - completely modular.

Can you make a custom design?
Yes we can - but it will cost you "up front" for us to modify designs or create new ones. Visit the Customization FAQ's
