Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts
Common choices include pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and aluminum for durability and low maintenance.
Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:
Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.
Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.
Can you enclose the dock? 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.
Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? 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.
The cost of a new dock can range from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the project size, location, and additional features.
For example, a boat lift can range from $1,000 to $8,000. The ladder you'll need for your dock can be anywhere from $100 to $800, not including installation. In addition, the decking you'll need for your dock can cost between $15 and $30per square foot.
To maintain a dock, perform regular inspections for structural issues, clean away debris, and apply a sealant to wood components. This protects the dock from water damage and prevents premature wear and structural damage.
