Pontoon Joint MaintenanceThe most vulnerable part of any pontoon system is the joints. Loose joints promote wear and it is advisable to inspect and tighten if necessary all joints and connections at least once a year and after severe weather. Joint wear is very dependent on exposure of the site.

Pontoons that take the ground at certain states of the tide are also liable to require regular joint maintenance due to the twisting and bending that can arise when grounding on an uneven surface. Rubber connection blocks which form part of all Walcon flexible joints may require replacing when badly deformed or age hardened. It is usually most cost effective to replace both bolts and rubber blocks on a planned basis.
