Better Decking Started with a Better Idea.
The SunWalk® story began in 2006 with a simple idea: there had to be a better way to surface a dock. Dick Cantley designed what would become the original SunWalk® 45-Series, working with Brian Read to develop the engineering and unique manufacturing process needed to bring it to life. The result was a purpose-built marine decking panel that combined strength, consistency and installation efficiency with an original bi-directional design that simply looked better on a finished dock. More than 20 years later, that drive to make waterfront products better still defines SunWalk®.

Hands-On Ownership. Continuous Innovation.
Today, SunWalk® is owned and operated by Graham Read and Derek McGivern, who bring decades of complementary business, manufacturing and product-development experience to the company. Graham’s background in business, corporate affairs and finance combines with Derek’s roots as a toolmaker, plastics industry veteran, inventor and product designer. The two work together daily—developing ideas, solving problems and continuously looking for ways to improve SunWalk® products. It’s a hands-on partnership built around something both owners genuinely enjoy: creating better products and better solutions.
Made in Tennessee. Backed by Decades of Marine Experience.
SunWalk® marine decking is manufactured within our own group at our facility in Sweetwater, Tennessee, USA, keeping our team closely connected to product design, tooling, manufacturing, quality and continuous improvement. In the market, SunWalk® is supported by Brian Morton, Matthew Sorrell and Angus Smith, whose respective organizations bring decades of marine-industry experience and long-standing customer relationships. Together, our team works with dock manufacturers, builders, dealers, marinas and marine professionals to do more than supply decking—we help our customers find solutions and build successful waterfront businesses.
And We’re Just Getting Started.
Innovation at SunWalk® doesn’t stop with the products you see today. Behind the scenes, we’re continually testing materials, developing concepts and creating new products designed to solve real problems for marine professionals and manufacturers. Some ideas become improvements to existing SunWalk® decking. Others become entirely new solutions. After more than 25 years of making docks better, we’re still having fun figuring out what comes next.
Better decking was just the beginning. Wait and see what SunWalk® is building next.
