Whitecap 18 Inch Premium Grade Teak Swim Platform, Solid Teak Construction, Hardware Not Included

The Whitecap 18 Inch Premium Grade Teak Swim Platform is a 100% solid, premium grade teak platform built for year round indoor or outdoor marine use. 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.

This 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.
