In our last blog, we talked about setting a budget and considering the usage of your future dock. This week, we’ll continue with design planning and shore considerations!
Plan for Maintenance and Looks
If you’d rather spend your weekends enjoying the water instead of sanding or staining wood, aluminum is the way to go. It’s virtually maintenance-free and built to withstand the elements. Prefer the look of wood? No problem—many aluminum docks now come in finishes that mimic the natural beauty of wood without the upkeep. Alumi-Span also offers real wood options.
Know Your Shoreline
Your dock should work with your lake, not against it. Things like shoreline type, lakebed conditions, seasonal water level changes, wave activity, and even prevailing winds all play a big role in determining the best dock design. A custom-fit dock ensures better performance, safety, and longevity.
