Whether you are looking to maintain the look of your dock or install some additions, you should always buy the best quality products. Docks aren’t cheap, so you want to make sure you aren’t going to cause damage with your new additions and products.
Accessories and Additions
Some of the most notable additions that people put into their docks are ladders, lifts, bumpers, buoys, tiki bars, and sundecks. Dock owners might even go the extra mile to add a bar, which will certainly take your dock to the next level. Some of these additions range from purely aesthetic appeal to being useful.
When adding a lift or other large features, it is best to have these installed by only the best in the business. You can contact Alumiworks and we will be happy to go over your dock lift options and how we guarantee quality installation.
Cleaning Products
Regular cleanings for your dock are very important, but will be meaningless if the wrong products are used. A power washer is one of the most safe and effective ways to completely rid your dock of dirt and debris without causing any damage. If you decide to use a power washer, make sure to keep it at a safe setting that won’t take the paint and stain off. After washing, you will want to use a qualily sander if the dock is made out of wood. This will help prevent splinters that are due to the newly softened wood after washing. Do your research on a wood stain and sealer that is durable and maintains the new look of the dock. Adding stain and sealant is something that should be done every few years, and is very important to remember.
If you do choose to put some much-needed additions into your dock, make sure to do research before trying anything yourself.
