PITTSFORD, Mich. - Michimich -- Your dock may be cleaned up and ready for spring, but is it safe?

Here are some simple solutions to make your boat dock safe for young swimmers and jumpers (and keep in mind, these may be geared towards kids, but they help EVERYONE on your dock!):

1. Choose Non-Slip Decking for Foot Traffic

Children tend to sprint across a dock toward the water — and slippery surfaces can turn that excitement into a dangerous slip. Non-slip decking materials are essential:

• Vinyl and Aluminum Decking with textured treads keeps traction even when wet and bare feet are involved.
• Hand-sorted Lumber deck boards reduce the risk of splinters.

Whether you select premium wood, vinyl, or aluminum options, surfaces designed to shed water and provide traction help prevent falls.

2. Add Safety Accessories for Everyday Protection

A range of accessories can dramatically improve dock safety for young family members:

Dock Bumpers
Soft bumpers around edges cushion hard surfaces that kids might bump into or trip over, and also protect boats and dock edges.

Stairs & Ladders
Easy-to-use stairs or ladders allow kids to enter and exit the water safely — far preferable to climbing on slippery rocks or jumping into deep water without support.
