What type of maintenance is required?

Maintenance depends on the type of wood you choose. Here are some recommendations to ensure the durability and premium appearance of your Terraflo dock pontoon:

Treated wood (Quebec)

• Apply an eco-friendly water-based sealer once a year or every two years, ideally in spring (~1h). See our recommended brands on the blog right here.

• This simple application protects against humidity and UV rays, and preserves the warm aesthetics of the wood.

Western red cedar (natural)

• Maintenance-free.

• Cedar ages naturally and is weather-resistant.

Butternut finish

• Reapply oil tincture every 3 to 5 years.

Please note: No winterization is required for our dock pontoons. Our materials are designed to remain outdoors year-round.

Is the motor included?

The motor is not included with your Terraflo. Here are our recommendations according to use:

Electrical option

• Fishing motor with minimum 55 lbs thrust.

• We highly recommend the Parsun 3HP (reliable, quiet, high-performance).

Gasoline option

• Up to 9.9 HP

• Requires a long foot.

Contact us and we'll be happy to recommend the ideal motor for your lake and sailing objectives.

Can I leave my Terraflo in the water during the winter?
