Customer Reviews for Multinautic 4 ft. x 8 ft. QP-427 Stationary Aluminum Dock

I purchased this product and installation was easier then expected. The one hiccup is that the pre-cut cedar decking kit does not fit in and each board still needed to be cut. All the videos showed the boards fitting perfectly, with no cutting. My goal was to assemble the 4 units myself and have it installed. Unfortunately I had to have a contractor do the cutting and installation of the boards as I did not have the required power saw. The installation into the water went relatively smooth, and I would recommend this product.

This kit was relatively easy to assemble. Make sure to cut your boards to the length noted in the directions. No longer! I am very pleased w the structural strength. I did utilize some augers for the poles that were in the river. Highly recommended and affective. This kit exceeded my expectations.

I bought two of these kits and was able to put them together by myself with ease. Because I bought two sections I was able to use 4 poles to assemble the frames and keep them elevated while I cut and put together the cedar planks.

These dock frames are easy to assemble and preparing the wood required is also easy. Due to the lake icing over the dock assembly must be removed every year, the wood is a little heavy to move alone but the actual dock frames are very easy and I am 71 years old.

I purchased 2 units for kayaking. I bolted them together in a tee-configuration and added wheels with height adjustment to the wide end (water end) of the dock. The units arrived in perfect condition with all parts present. The assembly process was easy, all holes aligned property, I did have to drill four holes in order to create the tee-configuration. The decking is not included with the kits and the manufacturer does not recommend pressure treated lumber only cedar decking. At the time cedar decking was not available if your life depended on it so i chose Trex Enhanced Naturals Rocky Harbor Sq. Edge (capped composite) which so far has worked fine other than its heavier than cedar would have been. I would purchase again if ever needed.

Purchased 4 units, assembled 4 units, put 4 units in the canal... in a weekend by myself! Imagine if you had help! The door is sturdy, withstood ETA storm surge 2 feet under water and still solid as a rock. The ease of assembly was great. Only complaint is the Home Depot doesn’t carry all the accessories like the dock bench or make the readily available. But, having Sid that, it is a great product.

Extremely durable product with ease of assembly. It was just me, but in three days of on and off attention I completed a 4 - 4x8 section dock in an L shape utilizing the parts provided. It looks great! It already met the elements of Hurricane ETA and the storm surge put it a foot and a half of water! She didn’t budge! If I could load photos I would. Now for the accessories of Home Depot would only carry a variety of their products.

The dock went together easily with no issues what so ever. We have been enjoying our new dock for 2 seasons and couldn’t be happier. I called Multinautic’s customer service to ask about connecting to an older aluminum post dock to our new Multinautic dock and before I knew it, the agent was sending me bolts I had lost ....free of charge. I’m now a customer for life!!!! Thank you

Great product, easy to assemble, building the deck does take time, but worth it. Easy to install

My husband are both 65 years old. We are able to install & remove this dock with just the two of us. We used PVC boards for the deck with cedar runners under the PVC boards & it turned out great. Easy to assemble.

I bought two last year and added a third section this year. The frame is well engineered and very easy to assemble. The sections are light weight and a manageable size so taking them in and out is an easy job for two people. Really happy.

Easy to assemble,, easy to work with

I’m very pleased with the product. I assembled five deck section frames and fabricated the cedar decking panels and installed the entire dock by myself. The maximum water depth was 49 inches. I was concerned the recommended embedded depth of posts of 6 to 12 inches would not be sufficient for a sturdy stable dock feel. I pleased to say the 40 feet of dock is very solid and I have no concerns about mooring my pontoon boat and PWC .The instructions for assembly and accessories are clear and helpful. My goal was to have a dock that I could install myself if necessary and this system meets that requirement. With two people it will be very easy to put in and take out seasonally. It looks great with cedar decking. My only disappointment is many accessories are not available through Home Depot. I had to find a USA distributor in Maine to supply some essential accessories such as mooring cleats,T bolts , etc.

Great product! Light and easy to assemble. Really smart simple design

Great dock! Easy to assemble. Love the fact that brackets that link section support ramping up or down. Strong! Instructions are clear and ready to follow. Tells you everything you need to supply including tools. Cost effective over other solutions. Seems very stable without cross brace.

Great value and easy to setup

Well engineered.

Fast delivery. Great product

Easy assembling

Well built and dose what it is intendid to do.

High quality manufacturing and versatile setup options.

I purchased this with the intention of installing the dock next spring. Product was shipped quickly. And seems to be as ordered. The instructions seem simple enough and I expect little problems installing the dock next spring. I also order a couple accessories through Home Depot such as bumpers for the sides and posts. This was shipped promptly and came as expected

Installed the first section today in about two hours. Great instructions and a quality product. Will be adding more next weekend! Can’t wait to buy some of the accessories, too. However, currently they’re difficult to find online. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. I would like to order the kayak rack and other parts. I recommend this product!

The dock is nice but it would be better with a lengthwise center support for deck boards. Cedar is hard to find and composite is limp and not so sturdy.

Lightweight and very easy to assemble.for one individual.

Very easy to assemble, solid dock, highly recommended!

The product is well put together. Everything fits, it’s sturdy in the water, logical hardware options for different configurations and the directions are good. I’ve purchased four and have been very happy my first summer.
