Frequently Asked Questions for DIY Dock Stanchion Kits
Q: I have an existing wooden dock that I would like to replace the dock supports on. Can I use these stanchions with my existing lake dock or pier? How do I know they'll fit?
A: Absolutely! Many of our customers purchase these stanchions for retrofit to their current lake dock. Each of the stanchion's interior widths are a half inch wider than their nominal setting. For example, on the 48" dock setting, the inside width of the stanchion is actually 48.5". This means it will fit nicely over a dock that has an actual width of 48" even.
Q: The product description says I use (2) stanchion halves to make (1) stanchion. What does that mean?
A: The (2) stanchion halves are bolted together to make the (1) stanchion. Bolting in different holes is what produces the different stanchion widths (36", 42", and 48").
Q: So I've decided to use your wooden dock plans to build my new boat dock. Aside from the do-it-yourself dock support kit, what do I need to purchase?
A: Just lumber and screws. The materials you will need are all outlined in the free Dock Instructions.
Q: How do I know how long of support pipes to get with my stanchion kit?
A: The minimum length of support pipe you will typically need for a dock is as follows: Water depth + height you want the top of the dock out of the water + extra support pipe you want above the dock top for adjustment. A typical scenario for this might be 36" +18" +6" = 60" which would require 5ft support pipes.
