Marinas throughout the United States are increasingly adopting expanded polystyrene (EPS) boat blocks for boat storage solutions. For instance, a marina located in Bracey, Virginia, utilized four blocks of .9 lb density EPS, each measuring 24 inches in length, width, and height, to securely store a pontoon boat. The EPS blocks are characterized by their non-abrasive nature, exceptional durability, and high compressive strength, rendering them suitable for the storage of vessels of various sizes and hull types. These blocks are progressively replacing traditional metal jack stands and concrete blocks due to their lightweight properties, cost efficiency, and advantageous surface characteristics.
The marina located in Nashotah, Wisconsin utilizes 1.5-pound density expanded polystyrene (EPS) cubes, measuring 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches, for its boat storage program. Four EPS blocks provide adequate support for this pontoon boat, while the surface of the EPS material effectively protects the pontoons from potential damage.
