Dock Applications Trex decking is approved for all water-contact applications. Boards can be submerged in water for extended periods of time, including multiple times a day with rising tides.
Stainless steel fasteners should be used.
In addition, if there is a great deal of contact between the dock and gasoline, grounding of the dock is also recommended.
