Quick and Easy Pier Assembly
Author: wickcraft  | Posted: 13-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 8 | Rating: (167)  (?) 
Building a pier seems at first a pretty intimidating move for a homeowner, even one who is familiar with living on the water. That’s something best done by professionals, right? Who wants to worry about making sure it fits right while straddling the water and the land. Not to worry. If you are looking to put in a new dock for your boat to pull into, the people at Wickcraft have created a breakthrough system for putting together a pier like it was a child’s puzzle. The pieces lock together easily, so one person working on their own can get the work done in a weekend.
You can tell at first glance how easy the Wickcraft system is going to work. Right off the bat, you can see that the deck and the frame mesh together easy, as opposed to a hard-to-understand framework and decking setup. The old way is more expensive to boot. The old decking and framing system could be so overwhelming; people would be stunned to think they can do it themselves. But fortunately, the new Wickcraft way shows you that there doesn’t need to be something so complex.
With Wickcraft’s setup, you get a custom pier system that stands up to the elements, but is light enough that it can be put together easily. The new pier system comes pre-made with a deck, frame and walkway which take a lot less time and knowledge to assemble. You can have a place to pull in your boat thanks to the easy, step-by-step process Wickcraft has come up with.
The way the Wickcraft system works is similar to a kid’s construction set or a puzzle. The frame comes in pieces which go together easy as part of the posi-lock system. It’s as easy as one piece sliding into another and locking in when the frame is lowered. After that, you put down the decking and connect it with screws through the preset holes. Taking it apart is just as easy. How would you like a boat dock to be enjoyed during the summer and then put away when the weather gets cold? No more dealing with what snow and ice can do to your boat dock. That setup will give you more years of use out of your pier.
Thanks to the Wickcraft’s system, you can also extend your pier as far as you need. You may need to put the pier over land and into your lake. The posts that come with the system can give the pier all the support it needs. Just as there’s no need for big construction and labor, there are also no worries about it slumping into the water.
However, be sure to check your lake bottom just in case you do need a little extra help. For very muddy bottoms, you may need extra-large stabilizing plates to keep the pier up. But since you’ve saved money putting everything together yourself, getting those pros to come in will be worth it. You want stability in your pier, so adding plates, while not a lot of work, is important.
There’s a reason people want to live near the water. They want to be able to enjoy their boat and the outdoors. If you do, then you will want the best dock you can get and now, because of ease of assembly as well as durability, you can’t get much better than the posi-lock Wickcraft dock and pier system. Putting it together is such a snap, you will soon be pulling your boat up and getting started on some fun.
