Celebrate the New Year with Alumi-Span Docks!

PITTSFORD, Mich. - Jan. 3, 2024 - PRLog -- Have you been waiting for the right time to install a new boat dock?

When was the last time your dock got a makeover?

2024 is officially here! What better time to start planning a new or improved dock than the month of new beginnings?

No matter your dock situation, these research and planning tips should help you get started:

Researching Your Boat Dock Options

Before beginning your design, you're going to want to consider a few things about your future dock:

• Installation- DIY vs. Professional: Are you planning on installing the dock yourself or hiring a professional to install?  Adding multiple features to your dock can make DIY installation a little more difficult.   Be sure to take this into account when designing your boat dock.
• Demand: Make sure you know the demands of your space! Design your boat dock based on purpose, climate, and weather. It may be that a dock feature you love isn't really suitable for your property or the main purpose of the dock.
• Features: Be well read when it comes to boat dock features so you can include everything you want! You'll need to think about the type of dock (aluminum, wood, or vinyl), lighting, seating, slips, platforms, and more.

Planning Your Dock Design

Before shopping for components, make sure you take the time to plan your design. Consider materials like wood, extruded vinyl , or aluminum dock sections.

Other factors to keep in mind are:

• The location of your dock (what are the bottom conditions?)
• The depth of water around the dock (this decides pole heights)
• Any local town or municipal coding requirements
• The average number of boats that will be anchored to the dock if any
• The size of your dock (be sure to stay within the space your property allows)
