PITTSFORD, Mich. - Michimich -- Are you looking for maintenance-free decking?

Do you think there's only one type of maintenance-free decking?

Alumi-Span not only offers anodized aluminum decking, but also extruded vinyl!
Alumi-Span's vinyl decking is a true extruded vinyl, not the injection-molded plastic that some systems call vinyl. Injection-molded products are not structurally strong on their own. Injection-molded plastic needs to be reinforced substantially to make it usable, making for a very heavy dock section.

Unlike injection-molded products, Alumi-Span's extruded vinyl deck boards are an inch-and-a-half thick, with honeycombing reinforcement running throughout. The tread pattern on the vinyl boards runs in both directions, ensuring you have good traction even when the boards are wet. The vinyl decking also comes in three different colors: white, sand, and grey, allowing you to personalize the dock to your taste!

Not only are Alumi-Span's vinyl deck boards stronger than most, their manufacturing team does several things while building to ensure the quality of their sections. A center "U" beam is riveted on the back of the section; this beam is actually supported by a rest on the crossarm to prevent sagging over time. The side stringers are made of a heavier walled aluminum extrusion than most, so the section is strong from end to end. These sections have been weight-tested up to 1200 pounds!
