Swimming pontoons come in three standard widths: 2 m, 2.4 m and 3 m and three standard lengths: 4 m, 5 m and 6 m.
Anchoring takes place using concrete anchors, mooring chains, mooring piles or mooring diagonals. In the case of a single-module pontoon, only a ground support is sufficient and it is not necessary to install anchors. However, pontoons consisting of several modules always need to be anchored. We recommend leaving anchoring to us, as we have the necessary special equipment to carry out the work safely.

Swimming pontoons maintenance
Although the swimming pontoon is practically maintenance-free, to guarantee longevity, we recommend that you:
- wash the decking in the spring and autumn with a pressure washer or brush and treat it once a season with a wood preservative that offers UV protection;
- regularly check the condition of fasteners and hinge connections;
- remove the ladder from the pontoon in the autumn to avoid damage by ice.
