How often do boat docks need maintenance?

• <div><p>Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.</p></div>

What other things should I consider before building a dock?

• <div><p>Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:</p><ul><li><p><b>Are you damaging the environment?</b> Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.</p></li><li><p><b>Are you blocking access? </b>Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.</p></li><li><p><b>Can you enclose the dock? </b>Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.</p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines?</b> Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
