For all those waterfront homeowners out there looking for
the next generation in dock construction, repair or maintenance, The Lake
Channel has published an article on the latest dock pilings technology.

An excerpt from the article states:

Polymer-encased timber not only resists ice in the water,
but is also highly resistant to ultraviolet rays and splintering as well. UV
rays and splintering are responsible for the fading and cracking that normal
docks and piers succumb to – typically in just a few short years.

And also:

Ultimately, choosing polymer-encased timber products can
help you along the way towards insuring that your dock or pier will resist the
elements and also retain a great aesthetic appearance year after year.

What promises to be a fairly good solution to a lot of your
dock problems is also an inexpensive solution. For more information about
