What is a Custom Dock or Bridge?

A custom dock and bridge for a home or business refers to a specialized structure that is designed and built to meet the specific needs of the property owner. Custom docks and bridges are typically made from durable materials, such as wood, aluminum, or composite, and are designed to provide access to bodies of water.

Dock and Bridge Maintenance

Owning a dock or bridge is a great addition to any outdoor scape but with it comes maintenance.

  • It is important to inspect custom docks and bridges regularly to identify and address any potential safety hazards or damage. This includes checking for loose or missing screws, damaged planks, or signs of rot or decay.
  • Keep the gazebo clean by sweeping out leaves and debris on a regular basis. If the gazebo has screens, make sure to clean them as well.
  • Keeping custom docks and bridges clean and well-maintained can help protect against damage and extend the life of the structure. This includes removing debris and algae, as well as cleaning and treating the surface to prevent fading and deterioration.
  • If the custom dock or bridge is not in use during certain times of the year, it is important to store it properly to protect it from the elements.
  • Regular professional maintenance is important to ensure that custom docks and bridges are in good condition and functioning properly. This may include repainting or staining the surface, replacing damaged planks, and repairing or replacing any electrical or plumbing systems.
