What a wonderful 2022 Season!

11/11/2022

0 Comments

 
We want to thank all of our customers for their patience and business as we wrap up the 2022 dock and lift season and look forward to 2023.

We were again able to serve waterfront property owners in the lakes area with premium LA Dock and  ShoreMaster docks, Lifts, and accessories.  Most customers noted how quickly we were able to get their new waterfront equipment installed last spring, and many said they were glad that they chose Lake Area Docks & Lifts after hearing from their neighbors that other waterfront equipment providers in the area struggled to get inventory. We pride ourselves on being the most ready, with the right mix of products, at the right time, and it leads to many happy customers season after season.

Water levels on area lakes were higher than normal to start the 2022 season, and they have since come down to normal or even below normal levels as we are receiving our first snow of the year today. We did find that some customers with SeaLegs installed on their pontoons struggled to effectively park their pontoons along shore using their SeaLegs when the water levels were so deep early in the season, but as the season progressed and water levels returned to normal most were able to enjoy their pontoons.  

As of today, we have already received much of our preseason inventory from our suppliers like ShoreMaster, LiftTech (Boat Lift Motors), Crary Weedrollers, and Ryco Hydraulic Boat Lifts and more and we are ready, as always to get you set up with a new dock, lift, or both this spring. 

Sales continue to come in as property owners plan for warmer temps next spring, and we are already building more LA Sectional dock in anticipation of a great 2023 season. Right now is definitely the best time to plan for your waterfront equipment needs as we head into the holiday months. Inventory at all five Lake Area Dock & Lift locations is really good, but the most important thing now is to just get on the schedule to ensure timely delivery of your equipment, the weeks leading up to and after ice out goes really quickly, and if you are added to the calendar later in fall, winter, or even into spring, you might just end up at the back end of the list which will definitely impact the amount of time you have to enjoy your new equipment next summer!

We look forward to the boat shows this season and can't wait to see you all there!

Do I Need a Sectional Dock or a Wheel-In Dock System?

2/25/2021

 
Picture
Sectional Dock? Wheel-In Dock? What is the best dock choice for me / my family / my waterfront property / my budget? These are common questions many first-time dock shoppers in the lake areas of west central and central Minnesota ask themselves when beginning their search for a new or used dock system. We won’t tackle all of them in this post, but we can definitely help you narrow your choice between a sectional dock and a wheel-in dock. If you’re reading this article, you are probably at least somewhat familiar with what makes a wheel-in dock a wheel-in dock, and what makes a sectional or standing dock, a sectional dock. If not, just know that a wheel in dock is typically rolled or wheeled into the water with wheels on the dock legs and is usually installed either as a whole dock system or in parts, while a sectional dock is typically carried into place and installed one section at a time, and instead of wheels at the end of the legs, a sectional dock will have foot pads at the end of the legs. 
With so many dock manufacturer choices in both wheel-in and sectional docks, and so many dock and lift retailers of all shapes and sizes (and reputability) to choose from, where do you start? 
 

What kind of Dock Does My Neighbor Have? 

ShoreMaster Sectional Curved Dock, Wood grain aluminum decking, blue canopy
In the past, waterfront property owners would typically look at their neighbor’s dock systems to see what they had, and then would typically choose that style of dock system - usually a steel or sometimes aluminum roll-in (wheel-in style) dock system, and usually with cedar decking. That worked for years as there really weren't any other dock options available in the market, and many waterfront property owners were okay with muscling a heavy wheel-in dock system around their property. This is still a relatively viable way to get started in your search for a new dock system, but with so many variables in waterfront property, it’s not always the most effective method.  ​

Why Should I Choose A Wheel-in or Sectional Style Dock? 

Today there is so much more to explore with dock systems that you owe it to yourself to spend a little bit of time learning what type of dock system is really right for your needs and what style of dock system is really the best fit for your waterfront property. Should I choose a wheel-in dock or a sectional style dock? In most Otter Tail and Becker County lakes, sectional style aluminum docks are becoming more and more prevalent, and may have actually begun to outpace the sales of wheel-in style docks due to the fact that sectional docks can be installed in a wider variety of waterfront property locations, they are more configurable, and they take up much less space on shore in the off season. If you live at your waterfront home, the last thing you want is your dock system taking up most of your available yard space for 6 or 7 months out of the year. ​

Where Do Wheel-In Dock Systems Work Well?  

In the past, Wheel-In Docks were a more popular dock choice as waterfront properties with firm, sandy bottoms, and gently sloping shorelines were originally sold and developed (these are areas best suited for a wheel-in docks system). This is similar to some of the sandy shorelines of waterfront properties around lakes like Otter Tail Lake, West Battle Lake, and Pelican Lake in Otter Tail County, Detroit Lake, Melissa and Sally in Becker County, and Gull Lake, Cross Lake, and the Whitefish chain in Crow Wing County.  
As more waterfront property continues to be developed on both the premier lakes, and most of the other lakes in the area, many of the properties that are left, and that are now being developed, are those with steeper hills or banks at the shore, or properties requiring rip rap or large rocks to prevent seasonal shoreline erosion, they also include waterfront properties with weeds, trees, cattails, deeper water, or more muck than sand at the shoreline and out into the lake. These are all areas where a wheel-in dock will be incredibly difficult to install and remove, either by the do-it-yourselfer, or even by trained dock professionals with heavy equipment and barges. This is where a Wheel-In style dock system will not work well and will add frustration and cost over the life of your dock choice.

When waterfront property owners insist on a wheel-in style of dock in these locations, because that is what they are used to seeing in the market or what has been advertised at a low, low price by local dock manufacturers or dealers trying to make a quick buck, they believe that the dock with wheels will make rolling the dock in or out every spring and fall an easy chore. Unless the dock installation site has a firm sandy bottom, and a very gentle slope to the lake, this is usually not the case. There is a reason you will see so many used wheel-in style aluminum and steel dock systems with damage to the dock legs, the dock frame, or bent axles at nearly any dock retailer’s used inventory lot. It's because the dock was damaged while pulling it out or installing it on a shoreline with deep mud, or pulling or pushing it over obstacles like rip rap, bushes, or around trees, or simply trying to pull the dock up a steep shoreline.  These scenarios are just not the best application for a wheel in dock system. These waterfront properties are where a sectional style dock system while absolutely shine by being easier to install and remove, will absolutely last longer with less maintenance or repairs than a wheel in dock, and you get all of the benefits of your dock system being more modular and configurable,  easier to add onto in the future, easier to do-it-yourself (bonus that your dock installer - if you use one, loves sectional docks too), and your dock will take up much less space on shore.  ​

Where Do Sectional Docks Work Well?

A Sectional Dock system is truly the undefeated champion when it comes to application versatility. A sectional dock can be installed anywhere a wheel-in style dock system can go, but it will typically provide much more joy for the waterfront property owner and their family because it will perform better than a wheel-in style dock thanks to better overall dock stability, better layout and configuration options, no more issues with bent axles, or legs from rolling the dock in or out, and the shoreline and lakeside yard will look much cleaner and organized with a sectional style dock system.  
A sectional style dock system will really shine at waterfront properties where there are steep slopes to shore, muddy lake bottoms, rip rap or other obstacles in the way at the lake access location, and where a dock owner wants to at least have the option of installing and removing their dock in spite of the challenging shoreline conditions.  ​

What About Costs and Price Differences Between Sectional Docks and Wheel-in Docks? 

When it comes to dock costs you’ll always want to talk about the initial cost of the dock (dock materials, etc.), the cost, if any, of dock assembly, the cost of delivery, the cost of any maintenance (docks in general require minimal maintenance, but if you choose a wood decking option, you should plan on yearly or bi-yearly maintenance of the wood decking), and finally the yearly costs of installation and removal (if you aren’t doing this yourself). Below are some general guidelines related to sectional vs. Wheel-in style dock costs. 
 

Dock Material Pricing  

Typically a sectional dock system will be less expensive than a roll-in style dock system at the dock material level because it will require less parts than a wheel-in dock system. Wheel-in Docks will have at least two (and usually more) wheels, axles, axle couplers, chain bracing (or other leg bracing) to improve stability, as well as standard legs and foot pads. Wheel-in docks will typically have hinges or special “caterpillar connectors” in addition to its standard dock frame connectors, to allow some flex between the dock sections as it is rolled over rocks, logs and other obstacles. A sectional style dock system does not require wheels, axles, etc. And so is usually less expensive per section, and as a whole dock system than a wheel-in dock. 

A Dock Material Cost Price Example (Pricing for demonstration purposes only):
 
4 x 10 Sectional Dock with Titan Decking, 2 dock legs and pads: $1,157.00 = $115.70 / ft. 
4 x 16 Wheel-In Dock, with Titan Decking, 2 Legs with wheels:   $2,626.00 = $164.13 / ft. 
​

In the above scenario, which is typical of wheel-in and sectional dock systems, you can see that the sectional dock costs considerably less per foot of dock than the wheel-in system, this is due to the fact that the sectional dock does not require the additional costs of wheels, axles, and couplers. ​

What About the Cost of Dock Assembly and Delivery? 

Lake Area Docks & Lifts LA Dock Sectional Dock, Boat Lift delivery by barge
For your research purposes you can assume that dock assembly and delivery are going to be about the same costs whether you are buying a sectional dock or a wheel-in dock from your dock dealer. There won’t be enough of a cost difference to really make any real comparison. On a side note, one thing you should remember is that many dock retailers that advertise wheel-in docks for to-good-to-be-true pricing at boat shows, or on facebook marketplace or craigslist, typically do not include any assembly or delivery. Assuming that a wheel-in style dock will work well for your family, and your waterfront property, just remember you will be spending the next weekend or two assembling that low priced dock system, after you’ve already driven to the dealer to pick it up. You will be paying for that low price one way or another.  ​

What about the Costs of Dock Maintenance? 

The nice thing about today’s wheel-in and sectional dock systems is that they are very low maintenance. In the past, waterfront property owners used to have all kinds of maintenance with their old, roll-in steel dock systems. Not only would you have to maintain the dock frame by sanding, and painting scratches to keep it from rusting, you would also need to maintain the dock decking (usually wood decking, and sometimes covered in carpet or turf - yuck) with yearly staining or painting or carpet maintenance.  Today’s aluminum dock frames require no maintenance (maybe the occasional hosing off with water if you are so inclined), and higher end dock systems like those offered by Lake Area Docks and Lifts feature stainless steel, and brass hardware – so you won’t run into any corrosion problems there. The only maintenance really required on a dock system now is for those customers who have chosen and organic decking product like wood, or some composites that feature wood as part of the decking formula. Nost decking options sold today are no maintenance types like Titan Decking (PolyPropylene), Brock decking (Vinyl), or ShoreMaster’s painted aluminum decking (Aluminum). Some of these decking options cost a little more initially, but end up paying you back over the life of your dock in reduced maintenance and repair costs. ​

What about professional Installation Costs Every Year?

Assuming you are not going to perform the dock installation and removal every year, there are a few differences to point out in the costs to install and remove a sectional dock vs. A wheel in dock every year. Below is a very basic comparison of dock install and removal costs using some current dock and lift removal cost schedules found from various Minnesota dock and lift service companies. Keep in mind these are just estimates and the best way to get an actual estimate is by talking to your local dealer.
Dock Type
Spring Installation Cost Estimate
Fall Removal Cost Estimate
Yearly Service Total Estimate
Sectional Style Dock (Up to 40' / 4 sections)
$60.00
$60.00
$120.00
Wheel-In Style Dock (up to 40')
$150.00
$150.00
$300.00
As always, if you simply want to discuss your dock options with someone, we are always available to help you make your decision. We can walk you through the pros and cons of both wheel-in, and sectional dock systems, we can even show you in a hands-on way some of the differences because we stock both wheel-in and sectional docks in our showrooms  at our five Minnesota locations in Fergus Falls, Pelican Rapids, Battle Lake, Brainerd, and Cross Lake. ​

Do I Need a Permit for My New Dock in MN?

2/17/2021

 
This is a great question and one that is best answered by the MN DNR. If you are wondering whether or not you need a permit for your dock system, we recommend that you take a look at the MNDNR General Permit 2008-0401. The information in this article is borrowed from the MN DNR website. ​

Docks and Access in Public Waters

Docks, those narrow structures used for getting to deeper water, are commonly used on Minnesota lakes and rivers. For many docks, no permit is needed to install, construct, or reconstruct on shoreline property. For certain docks, a general permit may be used. There are many options, and we recommend that landowners use the smallest and narrowest dock that will reasonably meet their water access needs.

Do I need a permit for my dock?

No permit is needed to install, construct, or reconstruct your dock on shoreline property you own if you comply with the following:
  • No area of the dock is wider than 8 feet.
  • The dock is not combined with other similar structures to create a larger structure.
  • The dock is no longer than needed to achieve its intended use, including reaching navigable water depth.
  • The dock is not a hazard to navigation, health, or safety.
  • The dock will allow the free flow of water beneath it.
  • The dock is not used as a marina.
  • The dock is consistent with guidelines of the local government.
  • Docks placed on rock-filled cribs are located only on waters where the bed is predominantly bedrock.

General Permit 2008-0401

General Permit 2008-0401 is for docks with a platform area up to 120 square feet (not including walkway) OR a platform area up to 170 square feet (including walkway).
The dock leading out to the platform must be 5 feet or less in width and the dock must be on a lake with a shoreland classification of General Development or Recreational Development.
  • General Permit 2008-0401 – Authorization of Dock Platforms

Picture
How to Use General Permit 2008-0401
If the requirements of General Permit 2008-0401 are met, a dock platform is automatically authorized under this permit. There is no need to print a form or send in an application. If your dock platform meets the requirements of this general permit, no further action is needed.

Restrictions On Docks

You may not place a dock in public waters if the dock:
  • Obstructs navigation or creates a hazard
  • Is detrimental to fish or wildlife habitat or is placed in a posted fish spawning area
  • Is intended to be used for human habitation
  • Includes walls, a roof, or sewage facilities
  • Is located on property you do not own or have rights to use

10 Reasons to Choose Sectional Dock vs Wheel in or Roll In Dock

2/5/2021

When it's time to buy a new or used dock system. You'll often have the opportunity to chose a sectional dock system (or standing dock, as some call it), or a wheel in (or roll-in) style of dock system. They both have their advantages and disadvantages, and each style of dock is better suited for a particular purpose. The primary difference between each style of dock system is the manner in which the dock system is installed and, how the dock system is supported when set into the body of water.

A sectional dock system typically has legs and foot pads as is support, whereas a wheel in style dock system will usually have a combination of legs with wheels and legs with foot pads. Sectional docks are carried out and set into place. Their frames are lighter and are designed to make installation easy for one or two people. A wheel in dock system is designed to be rolled into place.

A sectional dock system typically has legs and foot pads as is support, whereas a wheel in style dock system will usually have a combination of legs with wheels and legs with foot pads. Sectional docks are carried out and set into place. Their frames are lighter and are designed to make installation easy for one or two people. A wheel in dock system is designed to be rolled into place.

10 Reasons to Choose a Sectional Style Dock System

1. Super Modular - You can add and move sections as your needs change.
2. The Ultimate in dock stability. legs are welded or braced and are much more sturdy than wheels.
3. Minimizes storage space in the off season. Dock sections can be stacked so they take up less space on shore.
4. Frames connect together quickly and easily to make install and removal easy
5. Frames are typically 10' in length. This means less "bounce" than a 12', 16' or 20' dock frame.
6. Welded construction. LA Dock and ShoreMaster RS4 feature fully welded frames for durability.
7. Decking options! ShoreMaster offers aluminum, wood, and composite / plastic options. LA Dock features Brock Decking, or Titan decking.
8. Decking panels are removable so you can store them in the off season, this keep your dock looking like new.
9. All aluminum construction with stainless steel and brass hardware. Your sectional dock will last a lifetime.
10. Incredibly light weight. A 4 x 10 sectional dock frame is easy enough for one or two people to carry for installation and removal - you'll save money over hiring a service to install your dock.
