A boat dock can give you easy access to the water and allow you to head out on your boat whenever the mood strikes. But where you should build your dock during the dock construction process depends on several factors.

Dock Construction: Where Should You Put Your New Boat Dock?

Here are a few considerations you should consider prior to the dock construction process to ensure your new dock goes in the best possible spot:

  • Depth and water tides— Choose a location for your new boat dock where the water can fully accommodate your boat. Make sure to account for tidal fluctuations, as you’ll want to ensure your dock remains usable, even during low tide.
  • Shoreline conditions— Carefully inspect the shoreline where you plan to construct your new dock. Make sure the area has stable ground and avoid areas that are prone to erosion and excessive sedimentation. You may also want to consider the impact a new dock would have on nearby ecosystems or habitats.
  • Accessibility—Think about how close your new dock would be to your property and how easy it would be to get from your house to your dock. An ideal location will make it easy for you to load and unload equipment and supplies.
