You are always very reliable & timely.
Thank you! Peter B. – Door County Wisconsin
That’s the question our sales team is asked all the time. We have the answer to this question – “It depends.”
Seriously though, that’s the truth – because it depends on so many factors. Your answer to these simple questions will help us to determine the cost of your pier:
But, not to worry, our sales team knows the Door County peninsula. Our sales team lives and work here. We know what to expect and we will guide you through the process. We have customers on virtually every shoreline on the Door County peninsula.
One of the first questions we ask is “where will it be installed?” This question starts the process by narrowing down the frame construction you need.
You may need a floating dock because the bottom is muddy and the area has no waves. Others need a massive, heavy frame to help hold it in place during a storm.
Have no idea what to expect? Our list of customers is so extensive, we can look up other docks that we sold in your area. Site visits are very important and we offer them FREE.
Door County is a unique area. There are areas where a wave of 5 inches is considered a big wave. Then, there are areas where 5-foot waves are the norm.
A floating dock will not work in areas with large waves. A stationary or wheel-in dock will not work in a deep, muddy situation. Given these examples, it makes sense that one type of dock may not work in both areas. We have to ask questions to narrow our recommendations down.
To determine your cost we have to look at the three main components: Frame, Decking, and size of your structure.

TS9 (Stationary or Wheel in)

If you live on – or spend time on – the lake, you’ve likely seen hundreds of dock/pier systems. Does it ever seem like they all look the same – Lots of straight lines and right angles. That’s great and functional, but have you ever wanted something that was more unique? Ever wanted to just throw the status quo out the window? It’s time to install a curved dock, and say “Yeah, but look at this?”
Ever wanted something that allows you better “curve” appeal? Well then, embrace the curves my friend! Your dock system should be a reflection of you – and you aren’t just like everyone else. You shouldn’t be confined to straight lines and right angles. After all, your shoreline doesn’t concede to such limitations, why should your dock?
The ShoreMaster exclusive 45 and 90 degree curved dock sections will make your dock the envy of the lake. Plus, you’ll enjoy unparalleled versatility, functionality, and elegance your waterfront experience needs and deserves with the ShoreMaster Infinity and QuickConnect systems.
