Dock
This unique piece of art is designed in the shape of a reversed lowercase ‘h’. It features a 4-foot wide walkway leading to deeper water, providing easy access to a boat slip (equipped with a lift) or a relaxing spot on the built-in 90-degree bench to enjoy the sun and water. Along the path to the boat or bench, a step offers access to shallower water for swimming or simply dipping your feet into the cool water. This family-friendly area includes splined pilings, plastic piling caps, umanilla rope railings, hand-crafted copper rope railing tie-downs, and decorative yet protective edge banding around the decking.

This stunning pier is situated at the Island Club. It boasts vinyl-wrapped and splined pilings with plastic cone piling caps.

The decking, seating, caps, and railings are all made from Evergrain composite material, known for its durability as it doesn’t warp, crack, or splinter. These are securely fastened with 3-inch stainless steel screws. To the left of the photo, a walkway leads to the pier.

Copper Top
This imaginative 4′ wide dock is supported by 8″ x 8″ pilings, each topped with copper. The copper not only develops an appealing patina over time but also protects the wood’s end-grain from the elements, ensuring the pilings remain sturdy and visually appealing for many years. The pilings are further enhanced with 1″ x 2″ lathing strips, creating a striking, decorative detail. (Originally used to prevent boats from rubbing against the pilings, splining has now become a beautiful design feature.)
The dock also includes a 1-5/8″ umanilla rope railing, with an additional rope mid-rail for extra detail. The rounded corner, rather than the typical square design, adds a unique touch.
This walkway leads to a dock that features a boat lift for added convenience.
