Top Accessories to Add to Your PolyDock
Written by PolyDock Products Marketing
Docks aren’t just wooden walkways out to the water anymore, nor are they just a way to get to your boat. Adding dock accessories to protect your boat and loved ones, as well as fun dock accessories for your watersports equipment, fishing gear, and more, means that your dock can be perfectly tailored to your interests and lifestyle.
Spending time on your dock these days means more than just the amount of time it takes you to walk in front of the shore to the end of your dock or your boat. Boat docks are becoming larger reflections of what their owners enjoy and use them for. Some are veritable outdoor entertainment spaces with large layouts, and many have fun dock accessories to make the best use of the outdoor space possible.
The perfect floating dock system for you will perform well in the environment it’s set up in, look beautiful, retain its value, and truly reflect the person that owns it. PolyDock has been in the business of making waterfront customers happy for years, and we know what the best dock accessories are. Here are some categories to pick from based on what you’re looking to outfit your PolyDock with this boating season.
Boating Must-Haves
If you have a boat dock, the odds are that you also have a boat and even a boat lift to go with it. Your dock is a perfect walkway out to your boat, so while accessories designed for boats might not be especially fun or glamorous, they can be important to the health of your boat and PolyDock alike. Consider handrails for your boat lift, dock cleats where you or guests can moor their own watercraft, or dock bumpers to avoid damaging your watercraft or dock while driving close to disembark. Installation and removal features like tires and lifting arms are also great options for seasonal boaters.
Safety Features
Your dock is an important place to make memories with loved ones of all ages. While not exactly glamorous, the right safety features can ensure those memories stay wholesome and happy. PolyDock dock decking surfaces, PWC platforms, and other places to stand and walk are already slip-resistant, which is a good first step for safe and secure footing. You should have a dock safety plan that everyone using your dock knows, but other accessories and additions can also help you prevent accidents. Handrails for added safety, lights for the dock system, dock boxes to store life jackets and other safety gear directly by the water, and steps or stairs to get out of the water safely are all great solutions to any safety concerns.
Comfort and Relaxation
Not everything about the water has to be about adventuring in the great outdoors. Sometimes you just want to quietly appreciate the great outdoors with a cup of coffee and some peace and quiet. PolyDock has a wide selection of dock furniture choices for every aesthetic and budget, from a simple bench with cupholders to comfortable loungers to sets of tables, chairs, and umbrellas. Adding other features like flagpoles and fire tables can also add a touch of personality to your waterfront, making it truly a personalized retreat.
For the Anglers
There’s something to be said about being able to go fishing right in your own backyard. Whether you fish for sport, food, or simply have an excuse to be outside for a while, PolyDock has options to suit every sort of angler. Consider adding a fishing dock rod holder to give you a place to set your rod while you get a drink, a bite to eat, or help someone else with their line. If you enjoy freshly grilled seafood, a dockside propane grill is a great way to round out your summer day.
For Anything Else That You Do on the Water
We couldn’t possibly list everything that you can do on the water, but we can provide the dock accessories that help you live your ideal waterfront life season after season. Watersports racks and dock boxes give you places to store gear like kayaks, canoes, and oars that would otherwise take up valuable space on your dock surface. Swimmers will appreciate having a way to get into and out of the water with ladders and steps. And if your hobbies and interests change, don’t worry; installing, removing, and relocating accessories on your PolyDock system is very easy.
