Durable Docks Don't Have to Cost a Fortune!
Posted by Alumi-Span Docks on 10/30/2017
If you’re ready for a new boat dock, durability should be one of your top priorities. Durability translates to more years of enjoying your dock, less money spent on maintenance, and less time spent worrying about or on repairs.
But we know “I’m not made of money” isn’t just something you say to your kids, it’s the truth! So let’s get down to it: how do you get a durable boat dock without spending a fortune?
1. Compare Costs
Compare long-term and short-term costs of more expensive more durable materials with less expensive and less durable materials. Some materials, like aluminum are nearly maintenance free and last much longer, which saves you a lot long-term. When you compare costs, don’t forget to factor in time and stress!
2. Economical Design
Treat yourself with a durable dock you are confident will last for years without the hassle of constant maintenance, but scale back on design to save some money. When you think about, you’ll probably agree there is more value in durability than bells and whistles.
3. Build It Yourself
