No two families are exactly alike. Your traditions aren’t like anyone else’s, and your home and life together are just as unique as you are. For waterfront-owning families, this is also true of the dock where you make your boating, fishing, and other outdoor memories together.
Your dock isn’t just the walkway out to your boat, but an outdoor space that can be customized to fit your needs. Making the most of your dock space means setting it up like the outdoor living and entertaining space that it is, with everything you need to have a great time. When setting up a dock for family time this summer, think about these three ways to make it perfect.
Choose an Easy System
A dock system that’s quick to set up and easy to own means spending more time with your loved ones and less time struggling with pieces and parts. When choosing your dock system, choose one made with high-quality materials and construction for season after season of aesthetics and performance. Welded aluminum is a lightweight, durable, and low-maintenance choice that’s great for busy waterfront families. Something easy to assemble and reconfigure is also a great choice for growing families and changing seasons: ShoreMaster’s Infinity Dock Systems use a Quick Connect frame assembly that makes putting your dream dock layout together easy. Adding on accessories like a wheel kit or tow hitch might not seem glamorous, but these important tools can help make your set-up as quick as possible so you can get on the water sooner.
Create an Elegant Space
The space that’s perfect for your family won’t look like everyone else’s dock. Docks tend to have a lot of right angles and straight lines that don’t flow with a shoreline and make the waterfront look kind of boring. Adding curved dock sections like those available from ShoreMaster can already go a long way toward making a unique waterfront space, and 45 and 90-degree sections give you more layout and design options. Combine curved dock sections with premium decking options and you’re on your way to creating a striking waterfront hub for all of your family gatherings.
Accessorize for Optimal Fun
No matter what you enjoy doing as a family, there’s a dock accessory out there that can make it even easier to do together. The right accessories can take a beautiful, well-performing dock to the next level by enhancing the way it looks and how it functions. When you think about spending your summer with your family, picture what you’ll be doing together on the water. If you canoe or do other watersports, think about adding a basketball hoop or paddleboard rack. If you’re a fishing family, a fishing rod holder, comfortable seating, and even a way to grill your catch can be added onto your dock system. If you’re swimmers, a set of steps or a ladder can make getting in and out of the water easier. If you’re going to be spending quiet time together even after the sun sets, a dockside fire table can provide cozy light and warmth as well as a great place to make s’mores.
The right set up, the perfect foundation, and the best accessories on the market are three ways that you can create your family’s perfect outdoor space. No matter what you do on the water, the company is what matters, and ShoreMaster and Great Lakes Boating can help you make the most of your time with the people you love.
