A PIER SYSTEM MAKE THINGS EASIER

By: wickcraft

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.

This new system allows homeowners who have property on the water to really enjoy what they have. By doing construction of the pier by themselves, people will be able to see how Wickcraft has created a simple and efficient system. The pieces of the dock, from the decking to the framing, fit together like pieces of a puzzle, which takes the guesswork out of erecting a dock outside their home. Once the dock is up, they can get started right away fully appreciating their waterfront.

Here’s how the system works. The Wickcraft dock’s frame pieces lock together using the posi-lock system, which is made so that one piece grabs hold of another and locks it down. After the frame is made, you add the decking on through pre-drilled screw holes. After that, the dock is ready to go. An additional feature is disassembly — the deck can just as easily be disassembled during the off-season months and put into storage. This keeps it from the wear and tear of the weather and will add years to its life.

The ease of the system allows you to build this boat dock on your own, so there is a lot that’s up to you. You decide the length of the pier and can even put it into the water if you want. If you do, you will have to decide whether you need supporting posts and stabilizing plates that prevent the dock from sinking.

That will be the one time in which you need the help of professional installers. If you have to deal with muddy bottoms of the lake, you will need to add larger stabilizing plates. But because the rest of the system that Wickcraft is affordable, you will be able do this without much cost. And, since the rest of the pier was so easy to build, there will not be much labor involved in the additional
stabilization.

Thanks to the posi-lock Wickcraft system, there is now not much time or cost between wanting to add or replace a dock on your property and getting one put up. Wickcraft allows you to do it in just hours. Not too long after you start the framing of the dock,
