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.

With just a few creative and practical dock accessories, your dock can become the heart of your summer adventures. From swim ladders and dock lights to kayak racks, canopies, and floating slides, Alumi-Span offers enhancements make your time on the water more enjoyable and stress-free.
