Give Your Dock a Personal Touch

How do you mark your dock as your own?

Here are three accessories that are practical, fun, and give your dock a personal touch that makes it all your own!

1. Flag Poles and Bumpers: Practical and Personal Touches

Want to show your spirit or make your dock easier to spot from the water? Add a flag pole! Many aluminum flag pole kits are designed for quick installation on a dock frame. And don’t forget dock bumpers, which protect your watercraft—and your dock—from accidental scrapes or bumps.

2. Swim Mats and Slides: Take the Fun to the Next Level

Floating swim mats and inflatable dock slides turn your lakefront into a summer playground. Attach the slide directly to your dock for endless entertainment, and roll out a durable swim mat for lounging, playing, or even doing yoga on the water.

These extras are sure to be a hit with kids and guests alike!

3. Storage Boxes: Keep Gear Dry and Organized

Waterfront activities often come with plenty of gear—life jackets, ropes, towels, tools, and more. A weatherproof dock box helps you stay organized and keeps items dry and secure. Choose a box made from marine-grade materials to resist moisture and sun damage.

Fabulously Practical Boat Dock Accessories

Looking for ways to update your boat dock this summer?

Here are five fun and functional dock accessories to consider adding this summer:

1. Swim Ladders and Stairs: Easy Water Access for Everyone

Whether you’re diving in for a swim or climbing out after floating in the sun, a sturdy swim ladder or set of dock stairs is a must. Look for corrosion-resistant, marine-grade aluminum ladders that can be removed when not in use to keep your dock clear. Stairs are especially great for kids, pets, or anyone who prefers an easier climb.

Alumi-Span offers multiple ladder and stair styles designed for both comfort and durability.

2. Dock Lights: Keep the Fun Going After Sunset

Extend your summer nights with dock lighting that adds both ambiance and safety. Solar-powered lights are an easy, no-wiring-required option to illuminate pathways, while underwater LED lights can add a fun, colorful glow to nighttime swims or boat docking.

Lighting isn’t just practical—it creates a beautiful atmosphere for lakeside evenings.

3. Benches and Seating: Relax and Enjoy the View

A dock bench provides the perfect spot to relax with your morning coffee or watch the sunset. Many designs include backrests and armrests for extra comfort. Alumi-Span also offers post-mounted dock chairs to get you out over the water. They are great for fishing or watching the sunset.

4. Paddleboard and Kayak Racks: Organize Your Gear

Avoid the clutter of boards and boats scattered along the shoreline with storage racks that keep your gear safely stowed and easy to access. Vertical or horizontal racks for paddleboards and kayaks help reduce wear and tear while freeing up dock space.

5. Canopies and Shade Covers: Beat the Heat

Hot summer sun can put a damper on your dock time. Install a dock canopy or umbrella system to create shady spots for lounging or gear storage. These can be freestanding or integrated into your dock’s frame for a clean, polished look.
