## Summary

Assess the complete floating structure, including stability, connections and changing water levels. The board's mass and fixing arrangement interact with the pontoon; a land-based deck detail should not be transferred without review.

## Planning and verification

Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.

## Handover and maintenance

Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.

## Key points

Floating stability
Connection movement
System mass

## Comparison

Design check | Evidence to record
Floating stability | Show the requirement on the project drawing
Connection movement | Obtain applicable product or design evidence
System mass | Assign installation and maintenance responsibility

## WPC walking surfaces on floating pontoons — What should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Floating stability; Connection movement; System mass
