Common Concerns Answered
Are there specific recommendations for the length and type of 5/16" fasteners to use with this cleat?
For optimal security, use 5/16" hexhead bolts with a length sufficient to penetrate the dock structure adequately, typically at least 2 inches into solid timber. Consult your dock's construction specifications for the most appropriate fastener selection.
How durable is the galvanized coating in prolonged saltwater exposure?
The hot-dipped galvanization process provides robust corrosion resistance for typical marine conditions. For extremely aggressive saltwater environments or if you encounter persistent issues, a stainless steel alternative may offer enhanced longevity.

Minor cosmetic blemishes from packaging typically do not affect the structural integrity or performance of the galvanized coating. If damage is significant and impacts functionality, please contact customer support for resolution.
