Piling in the high afternoon sun of Summer!

We can't deny a certain sense of pride that the Red Dock at Necker Island was the feature photo used to illustrate the New York Times' listing of the BVI as one of the "52 Places to Go in 2020".

Meridian completed the installation of the "Red Dock" at Necker Island in North Sound, Virgin Gorda, BVI a year ago.
Deckboards are custom color TanDeck™ - 100% Post-Consumer Recycled HDPE resin combined with proprietary strengthening fibers, UV–inhibited pigments, anti-oxidant processing aids and other additives for a "highly stable material formulation that is superior to wood lumber and wood based composite plastic lumber to withstand the harshest marine environments".

52 Places to Go in 2020 We picked destinations to inspire you, delight you and motivate you to explore the world.
