PITTSFORD, Mich. - eTradeWire -- Feeling glum because the lake season's coming to an end?

Did you know that there are plenty of off-season projects you can do to prepare for next season?

Here are four off-season dock projects for you to consider:

1. Replace Old Hardware & Upgrade Parts

Bolts, brackets, and cleats wear down over time. Replacing rusted or loose hardware now can prevent dangerous failures next season. Consider upgrading to higher-quality hot-dipped galvanized or stainless-steel parts for a longer-lasting dock.

If you already use our hardware, the hot-dipped galvanized won't corrode, but it can still wear down with age. If your hardware is old, we recommend at least inspecting it to make sure it's in good shape for next year.

2. Redesign Your Dock Layout

Has your family outgrown your current dock setup? Off-season is the perfect time to redesign your layout! You can add more slips, create a larger lounging area, or make it easier to launch kayaks and paddleboards, just to name a few ideas. With Alumi-Span's modular systems, customization is simple.

3. Rebuild Your Old Dock

If your dock has seen better days but still has a usable frame, rebuilding may be the best option. New decking materials can bring fresh life to an old dock while keeping costs manageable.
