Can I Leave My Dock in the Water During the Winter?

This question was asked of livingbywater.ca. Here is their response.

"Permanent docks can provide year round access. When built properly, they are stable and can last for years. However, many still suffer damage in areas that experience harsh winters. They are also costly and require more materials and construction to build. Supports made from cribs or concrete piers can permanently alter the shoreline causing environmental damage. If you must build a permanent dock, ensure the appropriate permits are obtained and keep in mind it may be difficult to get one!" source: www.livingbywater.ca
