It measures 18 inches wide at the back, 17 inches wide at the front, with a 15 inch depth and 1-5\/16 inch thickness, giving boaters a sturdy, comfortable surface for boarding, swimming, and diving access at the transom or swim step. Solid teak is prized by mariners for its naturally high oil content, which makes it highly resistant to warping, rotting, and insect damage even after prolonged exposure to sun, salt spray, rain, and snow. Over time, teak left in the weather will mature to a silvery grey patina; applying a golden teak oil or sealer annually will help preserve its rich golden finish and enhance the natural grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis platform is handcrafted from kiln dried, fully aged teak using traditional joinery such as dovetail and mortise and tenon construction for long term durability. Screw fittings are countersunk and plugged, and only high-quality waterproof adhesive is used in assembly, with each piece sanded and finished by hand for a clean, elegant look. Mounting hardware is not included, so installers will need to supply their own fasteners and brackets suited to their boarding platform setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whitecap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Solid, Premium Grade Teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Back):\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Front):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No, hardware not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year round indoor\/outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions of the Whitecap 60918 teak swim platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Whitecap 60918 measures 18 inches wide at the back, 17 inches wide at the front, 15 inches in depth, and 1-5\/16 inches thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Whitecap 60918 swim platform come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, hardware is not included with the Whitecap 60918 teak swim platform, so mounting brackets and fasteners must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wood is the Whitecap 60918 swim platform made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from 100% solid, premium grade teak, a hardwood valued for its naturally high oil content and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Whitecap 60918 teak platform suitable for outdoor use year round?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Whitecap 60918 is guaranteed for 100% year round indoor or outdoor use and can be left out in the weather all year long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the teak on the Whitecap 60918 platform change color over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e Left exposed to the elements, the teak on the Whitecap 60918 will gradually mature to a silvery grey color; applying golden teak oil or sealer annually helps preserve the original golden finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Whitecap 60918 swim platform constructed?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is handcrafted from kiln dried, fully aged teak using traditional dovetail and mortise and tenon joints, with countersunk and plugged screw fittings and waterproof adhesive throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Whitecap 60918 teak swim platform weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Whitecap 60918 weighs 5.1 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre other sizes of this teak swim platform available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Whitecap 60918 is offered in 18 inch, 17 inch, and 15 inch dimensions as noted in its width and depth specifications; a larger 22 x 24 x 18 inch version is also produced as a separate part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Whitecap 60918 platform made entirely of teak, or mixed with other wood?\u003c\/strong\u003e No other species or origins of wood are used; the Whitecap 60918 is made of solid teak throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the Whitecap 60918 teak swim platform have?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each Whitecap 60918 platform is sanded and finished by hand to a rich, elegant luster before shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the Whitecap 60918?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes the solid teak swim platform itself; mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitecap Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025282244827,"sku":"W-C-60918C","price":119.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/60918_use_c8c2374a-3c0d-4bcc-9954-6e05a398979f.jpg?v=1785001777","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/whitecap-teak-swim-platform-18-x-15-inch-solid-teak-model-60918","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
