A pier may seem to be a daunting home project. It has to sit in the water, is usually on a rise and doesn't seem like something an amateur would want to try constructing, even for their own home. Thanks to Wickcraft, the company which created a new lock-together
pier system, regular people can now take on the job of pier construction with relative ease.
How does it work? In Wickcraft's case, the piers have been designed to work together which makes for easy assembly. Traditionally, piers rely on pilings that have to been put deep into the bottom of a lake and are part of a complicated system of supports and engineering. Decking adds to the complex and specialized aspect of the set up. With help from Wickcraft, those complex pier construction days have been replaced with something better and easier.
Wickcraft has come up with a way to assemble a pier that really works for people who are interested in improving their homes. With the Wickcraft setup, people can take the special framing system and decking and have a pier that accentuates their waterfront property. Having a
boat dock outside the home allows you to enjoy the water - and your boat - without a great deal of trouble. The construction of the pier is so easy it makes adding this feature a breeze even for someone who isn't familiar with how a dock usually works.
The way the Wickcraft works is reassuringly easy. Wickcraft has created the posi-lock system. With that, one piece of the dock attaches to another and then locks itself into the frame. After you have the frame set up, you screw in the decking, thanks to pre-drilled holes. With the ease of the system, you are also able to take the dock apart. That will enable you store the dock when it's not in use, protecting it from the winter and adding to its life.
The new system takes outside workers out of the picture, enabling you to put a pier together on your own with a few tools and your own construction ideas. The length of the dock is your decision as well as where it goes — over ground and water. This will determine whether or not you need posts and plates to support it in the water.
If you have to deal with putting the pier on the muddy bottom of alake, you will need to call in the help of a professional. But, thanks to how efficiently the rest of the dock has been put together, you will find the labor and the cost of this additional step won't be prohibitive.
In the end, if you are looking for a dock, the posi-lock Wickcraft system gives you a cost-effective way to quickly assemble one, sometimes in less than a day. With the system, there's not much time separating you from starting the project and pulling your boat into dock.
