DOCK SIZING
Choose the dock size that best fits your property, watercraft, and how you plan to enjoy your waterfront.
SINGLE
Our smallest dock option, ideal for narrow properties or customers looking to keep more of their waterfront open. A single dock includes one full-size boat lift and can be customized with your preferred walkway layout.
ONE-AND-A-HALF
A versatile option featuring one full-size boat lift and one half-size lift. The half lift can be fully decked to create additional space for a jet ski, water toys, or easy access to the water.
DOUBLE
Our largest standard dock option, featuring two full-size boat lifts. Both sides can be used for boats, or one lift can be fully decked to create additional space for jet skis, water toys, swimming, or relaxing by the water.
DOCK LAYOUT
Explore walkway configurations to find the layout that works best for your property and waterfront.
Built out over the water with several walkway and catwalk configurations available. View over water dock configurations.

NEW SEAWALL VS. POST REPLACEMENTS
Find the seawall solution that best fits the condition of your shoreline and your project needs.
NEW SEAWALL
POST REPLACEMENT
A new seawall provides long-term protection and stability for your shoreline while giving your waterfront a clean, finished appearance. Our new seawall installations replace the existing structure with a newly constructed system designed for lasting durability and performance. For a more customized look, optional bumper board is available in treated lumber or composite.
Post replacement may be an alternative for seawalls that are still in good overall condition but have deteriorating support posts. This process involves cutting approximately a 2' x 2' section of concrete to access the existing posts, replacing them with new steel posts, and patching the concrete afterward. While post replacement can help extend the life of an existing seawall, it does not address deterioration in other portions of the structure or provide the same benefits as a newly constructed seawall.
ROOF OPTIONS
Choose the roof style that complements your property and fits how you plan to use your dock.

DECKED
Our most frequently installed roof style at Indian Lake. Flat roofs offer a sleek, streamlined look and are a cost-effective option that can be customized with your choice of colors.
A more traditional roof style that can be customized with siding, soffit, shingles, and finishes to complement your home.
Creates an additional outdoor living space above your dock. Available with treated lumber or composite decking and your choice of cable or traditional railing. This option is available for dug-in docks only.
LIFT OPTIONS
Explore lift configurations designed for different watercraft and waterfront needs.
​Fully decked lifts are a popular option for double and one-and-a-half docks. A full-size lift can be decked on one side of a double dock, while the half lift on a one-and-a-half dock can be decked to create additional usable space. Fully decked lifts can be finished with treated lumber or composite decking and used as a swim platform or for jet ski storage with the addition of jet ski bunks.
Jet ski bunks can be added to a fully decked single or fully decked half lift.
