The best way to get the dock of your dreams is to hire custom dock building services. However, before your dock can be built, you’ll need to come up with the perfect dock design.
Designing your custom dock can be difficult, which is why we’ve put together this list of the most important things to consider when coming up with your custom dock design:
- Purpose. How do you plan on using your dock? A dock primarily used for storing watercraft will look very different from a dock meant to host small waterfront gatherings. Whether you want your dock to be more storage- or recreation-focused, it’s important to make sure you know your purpose clearly when coming up with a dock design.
- Material. Docks are built with many different material options. Each material comes with its own pros and cons. For example, you may love the look of a wood dock but don’t want to deal with the necessary maintenance involved with taking care of it. You might prefer the strength and reliability of a steel or aluminum dock instead. We are happy to talk to you about your material options when you design your dock so you find the best option for what you need.
- Location. Depending on where you plan on building your dock, you may have more limitations or freedoms than others do. The amount of space available, as well as any particular codes or regulations for your area, will influence how your dock can be built and what you’re able to do with it, so keep these limitations in mind when designing your dock.
