Designing Your New Dock: What to Consider

You're probably already imagining summer days spent swimming, boating, and relaxing. If you've been dreaming about this for a while, you might even have a few dock design ideas in mind. Before diving in, make sure you've considered the essentials:

1. Set Your Budget

Materials are often the biggest factor when it comes to cost. Aluminum docks might be a bit more expensive upfront than wood, but they more than make up for it in durability and low maintenance. They're built to last—and they'll save you time, effort, and money in the long run.

2. Think About How You'll Use It

Will your dock just be a spot to tie up your boat, or do you want it to double as a hangout space? If you're planning on relaxing, entertaining, or even fishing from your dock, aluminum is a great option. It's lightweight, stays cool in the summer sun, and is easy to clean—perfect for a multifunctional setup.

3. Plan for Maintenance and Looks

If you'd rather spend your weekends enjoying the water instead of sanding or staining wood, aluminum is the way to go. It's virtually maintenance-free and built to withstand the elements. Prefer the look of wood? No problem—many aluminum docks now come in finishes that mimic the natural beauty of wood without the upkeep. Alumi-Span also offers real wood options.
