Having the right equipment and checking it goes a long way. Here are a few tips for building and maintaining a safe dock:
Use quality materials. Testing costs a manufacturer money, so if you buy cheap materials, they’re much less likely to have been safety tested. Quality materials are more durable and will last much longer, so even if they’re more expensive up front, they’re cheaper and safer in the long run.
Install lights. You’d be surprised to learn how many accidents can happen from simply not being able to see! Keeping your boat dock well-lit during low-light hours can prevent boat crashes, slips and falls on the dock, and other risks from reduced vision.
Frequently clean and inspect dock. It’s important to routinely check on your dock to make sure there’s no major damage. Catching issues before they become a serious threat not only protects the people using your dock, and prevents costly repairs.
