Whether you want to have an original house on the water, build a floating sauna, or want to attract customers with a special restaurant bobbing on the waves, you need to decide which type of pontoon to use in your building. Pontoons are different:

- plastic;

- aluminum;

- reinforced concrete;

- wooden;

- steel ones.

However, the use of each type has its own specific purpose.

Advantages and features of concrete pontoons

If you plan to place a houseboat permanently, then a concrete pontoon would be the best option. The structure is made of special concrete with filler. The external reinforced parts are hot-dip galvanized. The floating platform is secured with huge anchors on chains. It consists of a massive wooden frame that connects the concrete floats. Concrete structures have their advantages:

- the combination of mass and buoyancy;

- constant elevation height;

- reliability and environmental friendliness;

- ease of assembly;

- non-susceptibility to corrosion.

Pontoons made of metal

In cases where it is important that the house is autonomous and mobile, metal pontoons are suitable. They are lighter in weight than concrete ones, which makes them easy to remove from the water in harsh winter conditions. Metal floating pontoons have other advantages.:

- repairable;

- durable and reliable;

- universal in construction;

- easy to move;

- relatively cheap.

Pontoons made of other materials

Recently, plastic pontoons have become increasingly popular. Due to the material and the structures used, such products can stay in water for a long time. They are not afraid of ice, salt water, even poisons and chemicals. Special connecting parts are used for structural integrity. Plastic pontoons are simple and cheap to maintain.

Aluminum pontoons are not reliable, and their service life is short. However, they are quite stable when used in the frame of special plastic floats.

Wooden pontoons can be made on concrete and plastic floats. They are more solid and reliable on concrete. And on plastic they are light and easy to use. Assembled from ready-made elements, they are connected using flexible rubber fasteners. Pontoons of this type can be easily reconstructed even after installation.

Fiberglass pontoons are also available for houseboats and baths. They are non-corrosive, unsinkable and last for at least 25-30 years. They can be mounted and disassembled several times, and are very easy to operate. Get 5% extra on all cashouts with promo code for 1xbet for full and partial cashouts. Applies to sports bets only.
