A Nice Dock Doesn’t Have to Cost $1000’s.

In fact it can cost much less.

Lake house owners are by their very nature a resourceful bunch. They’re also not afraid to roll up their sleeves to get a job done. Work that doesn’t have to be continually worked on, be it fixed – modified – adjusted – you name it, can be considered an investment. Make it a weekend project for a dock you can be happy with – for years to come – and at the right price.

Frequently Asked Questions for DIY Dock Stanchion Kits

Q: I have an existing wooden dock that I would like to replace the dock supports on. Can I use these stanchions with my existing lake dock or pier? How do I know they’ll fit?

A: Absolutely. Many of our customers purchase these stanchions for retrofit to their current lake dock. Each of the stanchion’s interior widths are a half inch wider than their nominal setting. For example, on the 48″ dock setting, the inside width of the stanchion is actually 48.5″. This means it will fit nicely over a dock that has an actual width of 48″ even.

Q: The product description says I use (2) stanchion halves to make (1) stanchion. What does that mean?

A: The (2) stanchion halves are bolted together to make the (1) stanchion. Bolting in different holes is what produces the different stanchion widths (36″, 42″, and 48″).

Q: So I’ve decided to use your wooden dock plans to build my new boat dock. Aside from the do-it-yourself dock support kit, what do I need to purchase?

A: Just lumber, screws, and the bolts to connect the stanchion to the dock. The wooden materials you will need are all outlined in the free Dock Instructions.

Q: How do I know how long of support pipes to get with my stanchion kit?

A: The minimum length of support pipe you will typically need for a dock is as follows: Water depth + height you want the top of the dock out of the water + extra support pipe you want above the dock top for adjustment. A typical scenario for this might be 36″ +18″ +6″ = 60″ which would require 5ft support pipes.
