    "We designed this product specifically for use near water for structures such as docks, boardwalks and marinas," said Richard O'Hare, vice president of manufacturing for Epoch.

    The new Elements DockBoard, which will be manufactured in Chilhowie, Va., provides slip resistance abilities and eliminates splinters, unlike traditional wooden docks. The durability and strength of DockBoard allows each board to span 24 inches on center for commercial and residential applications. The new board is available in an attractive Pier Grey color, and is being offered in 12-foot and 20-foot lengths.

    "We believe this specially designed product will offer a wonderful alternative to traditional wooden docks," said Stephen McNally, vice president of sales and marketing.
