Types of Docks
 | Pipe
Dock: This is a seasonal dock held up with two inch, in
diameter pipe, which is attached through metal brackets which support the
wood frame. A pipe dock is required by law to be manually
installed and removed each season, this can be done by either the
homeowner or LRMC. Many varieties of wood
are available from pressure treated to redwood and
other exotic woods. |
| Seasonal
Lift Up: A cost effective solution. A seasonal lift up dock has an aluminum frame that
is hinged at the shoreline and bolted into either an existing rock, a
man-place rock or concrete pad. Decking is made into four-foot
panels that are easily removed and supported on 4 X 6 tie post. Many
varieties of wood are available for this structure. An advantage over a pipe dock is that
the owner can remove this with little effort, and they last longer than
the average pipe dock. |
| Floating:
This dock is supported with 2-feet by 3-feet plastic floats,
which support a wood frame. Each section of this type of structure
is in 8-foot lengths which are then connected end to end. Many
varieties of wood are available for this structure. |
| Crib:
Supported by 6-inch by 6-inch timbers which are stacked to
allow water to flow through, these supports are placed directly on the
bottom of the lake and are filled with rocks. The docking structure
is framed on the support system. This particular type of dock is permissible only where
conditions require this solution. |
| Piling:
Supported by logs driven into the bottom of the lake in
groups of two, these are cut to grade and have a 4-inch by 8-inch cap
connecting the two pilings which are spaced 8-feet apart. The
docking structure is framed on top of this supporting structure. Are
pilings are peeled red oak, in some cases we have used pressure treated,
under the approval of DES Wetlands. As a
permanent dock, this has the least amount of environmental impact. |
| Repairs: No matter the size of the repair, our
shoreline specialist will recommend a cost effective solution. |
