Useful Boat Dock Installation Tips




Boat dock installation in Brunswick County is a complicated job, and one has to be very careful while building a boat dock. In this post, we have mentioned some key steps or points to build a useful and durable boat dock. Let's take a look at these points below.


Start with planning the layout


You must start by drawing a blueprint and consider a variety of water levels, the boat and other vital things to make the material list as well as confirm that you are purchasing the right sized boards



Buy the right materials for your boat dock


People who are making their boat dock from a sketch must choose the right materials instead of using a prefabricated boat dock kit. You must go for the most rot resistant and wear materials as the top of the surface of every boat dock will take a beating for years. Wind, wave, foot traffic and uv rays will slowly contribute to wear and tear of your dock.


Rent equipment


For boat dock building and installation, we need many heavy tools, machinery and equipment such as pile-driver or excavator to get your dock installed. Such equipment and machinery are expensive to rent but they are only your option if you need to install a big boat dock. A dock to your waterfront property will boost its value. So, ensure about the desired features, functionality as well as materials of the dock to make the most of your investment.


It's time to frame your boat dock


You have to build three frames so as to frame your dock. Later positioned these box frames on the 4×4 posts of the dock. After putting and setting them on the posts, you will see the outside border of the dock. Now cut two 2×6 to 10, and then using 16D nails and nail them up to the tip of the centre box frame. Now screw them in to make the dock removable particularly during winter time.


Hire a Boat Dock Installation Company


If you are facing problems while installing your boat dock or feeling a lack of expertise, you must hire a boat dock installation company. They will not only help you find the right boat dock but help installing or removing it when the time comes. They do not stop until the installation job is done and install dock with care and have years of experience in this field. For dock removal, they will work with their client schedule, and you just need to let them know when you want to remove your dock and they will be there in no time.
