When it comes to washing our cars, so many of us are guilty of thinking, “I’ll just let the rain wash the dirt off,” even though we know that’s not actually how it works. Cleaning your boat is more work than running your car through a car wash, but it’s still very important to clean it properly. From basic dirt and grime to mildew stains and corrosion, there’s a lot about the water that can potentially damage your boat. With a little knowledge, elbow grease, and boat-cleaning products, your boat will look as good as the day you bought it. We have a basic guide to cleaning your boat and touching up your lift and dock while you’re at it.
Your Complete Guide to Boat Dock Decking Materials & Options
Posted on December 1, 2022 By ShoreMaster Marketing
You can still get to the water without a boat dock, but a boat dock makes the experience so much nicer. You can have your own personal getaway right on the water, attach some accessories to the perimeter that fit your lifestyle and hobbies, and give you a better place to put your boat than just tying it off to something on shore.
One of the biggest priorities you as a dock owner should have is the boat dock design, including the decking material. Since dock decking can make up 25 to 50% of the total cost of your boat dock, it’s worth making an investment that will last and that you’ll love for years. After all, this is what you’ll spend your summers walking, standing, and relaxing on—it’s important to make the best choice.
At ShoreMaster, we’ve seen docks made from an array of materials all across the quality spectrum. When choosing your system, such as an aluminum dock vs. wood dock, consider your priorities as a dock owner, get in touch with a local ShoreMaster dealer to have a more personalized conversation about your dream dock, and keep these three big options in mind.
