What Type of Boat Dock Do I Need?

Choosing the right type of boat dock for your property involves more than just selecting a style that is visually pleasing. There are a variety of things to consider when determining your docks needs. Asking yourself the following questions will be helpful.

 

  • How many boats will the dock be accommodating?
  • Will the dock be accommodating any other watercrafts such as kayaks or jet skis?
  • What is the depth of the water?
  • What are the conditions of the water in your area? Is there heavy boat traffic or frequent storms?
  • What is your budget for building the dock?
  • Do you have time to maintain the dock yourself?

Types of Boat Docks in Longboat Key

After determining your answers to the above questions, finding the dock type and material would be the next step. There are two types of boat docks that are offered by Wood Dock & Seawall, including:

Traditional Permanent or Fixed Boat Docks

Permanent or fixed boat docks are long lasting and very durable. Additionally, they are made with high quality materials and sturdy construction.

Floating Boat Docks

Floating boat docks are made of low maintenance materials which make them easy to maintain.

Boat Dock Decking Material

Wood Dock & Seawall offers only the finest selection of decking material to design your boat dock. As a result, we offer the following types of decking material: 

  • Marine grade pressure-treated wood pilling and a pressure-treated wood decking – Pressure treated wood decking is a very popular choice for boat docks and marinas. This type of decking offers a traditional wood grain appearance which compliments a nautical setting. Pressure treated wood dock planking is also one of the most cost-effective decking materials for boat docks.
  • Composite decking material –  If you are looking for a more maintenance-free dock, then composite decking is perfect for you. Composite decking is available in a variety of colors which are often fade-resistant. Plus, they don’t require any staining or sealing. In addition to being low maintenance, most composite dock decking options are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty for both residential and commercial properties.
