Welcome to the ShoreMaster Blog – Your Dockside Source for Lake Life Inspiration

Northern Minnesota is home to many beautiful forested areas and bodies of fresh water. Grand Rapids, Aitken, and McGregor all have a rural charm and peaceful atmosphere that makes it a popular destination for Minnesota families. There’s no better place in our state to relax and get away from it all, so whether you spend quality time with loved ones, fish, boat, or more, it’s a great area to set up a private waterfront haven with a boat dock system from ShoreMaster.

You now have your boat dock and your boat lift. The next thing is ensuring that your watercraft is properly protected is a boat lift canopy and canopy frame. Proper installation of your canopy frame ensures that your canopy stays securely over your boat for optimal functionality and protection.

Get off on the right foot with dock decking that meets your needs. From the look and feel of real wood, the simplicity of plastic, the wood and plastic composite combination, and the durability of aluminum, there are a lot of choices out there. We can walk you through them.

Without decking, you don’t have a dock. You’ll have several connected frames, maybe some flotation devices, and possibly a few dock accessories around the perimeter, but there won’t be a dock. You need something to stand and walk on to have a dock. Here are the pros and cons of common dock decking options.

Waterfront boat storage is one of the best ways to enjoy your time on the water. Boat lifts and dock lifts are both ways to keep your watercraft out of the water when you’re not using it, protecting it from damage until the next time you’re ready to head out. And because your boat or PWC is right by the water, you’ll save a lot of time and hassle getting out to the water. So what lifting solutions are available to you?
