New Docks
In 2020, we purchased 3 Aluminum dock sections from ShoreMasters docks from Bickfords Sport Center in Epsom, NH.
We purchased
- 1 x 10' Cedar Decked dock for the Shore
- 1 x 12' Cedar Decked dock for the Island
- 1 x 10' Cedar Decked dock for the Island
In addition, we purchased a 4' x 4' flow through decked ramp for the Shore side. That was the last ramp that Bickford's had available.
We also bought 2 "Leg Pockets" for the Shore and 2 "Leg Pockets" for the Island dock. We also bought 8 vertical bumpers to keep the boats from hitting the dock and to provide a way for passengers to get into and out of the boats with a little support.
Once initial assembly is completed, yearly disassembly and reassembly should require no tools. Items like the bumpers and the legs are held in place with T-Handles that have been torqued down tightly. An extension tube might be required to get them loose after a season. Two adults can VERY easily carry a single section of dock with the decking removed. They weigh less than 100 lbs when empty. The legs should be removable for seasonal storage in either the garage or the boat house. I personally think the Garage is better since a boat would need to be stored on top of the dock in the boat house and the leg pockets will get in the way of this.
