Dock Accessories

The expert dock building specialists at Speeler Gibson Marine Construction can help you incorporate some dock accessories into your dock build or add some new accessories to your existing dock to make it into the entertaining space you have always dreamed about. Dock accessories come in all shapes and sizes and some of our most popular dock accessory options are:

Boat Lifts

There are many benefits to adding a boat lift to your dock. It’s easier and faster to pull your boat out of the water using a boat lift. It makes it easier to clean your boat. And it is better to store your boat out of the water. Boat lifts come in a variety of shapes and sizes. And there are many types on the market. Speeler Gibson Marine can help you determine which boat lift would be best for your dock. They also offer services to install, maintain, and repair boat lifts. To learn more about boat lifts from Speeler Gibson Marine, visit the boat lifts page on our website.

Jet Ski Lifts

Jet ski lifts are very similar to boat lifts and perform many of the same functions as a boat lift. So, if you spend a lot of time on jet skis, you may want to consider installing a jet ski lift on your dock.

Dock Cleats

Dock cleats are an essential accessory for your boat dock. Installing them allows you to securely tie your boat down to prevent it from floating away. The most popular type of dock cleats we install are rope cleats.

Dock and Marina Power Pedestals

Dock and marina power pedestals are designed for the specific use of safely supplying power to your dock area and boats. Power pedestals provide a consolidated source for utilities and help to eliminate the clutter of electrical cables and water hoses that would usually lie on the dock and easily become a safety hazard. The power pedestal Speeler Gibson Marine typically recommends and installs can also provide pleasant low level dock lighting, which is suitable for most dock and marina applications.

Underwater Lighting

Even though our systems can draw large schools of fish and make them easily viewable and accessible, underwater lights are not just for the hard-core fishermen. Some people like them for the serene beauty they cast around their property. Most consider our product an extension of their yard lighting. This type of underwater lighting can truly create a breathtaking experience beyond any above-water light. If you love fishing or just like to watch fish, we have a system that’s right for you. Nightfall may not only be an event to look forward to but the highlight of the entire day!

Dock Lighting and Landscape Lighting

Lighting your boat dock is not only important for your safety but that of your passengers. In addition, it can be a wonderful feature to have when you want to entertain after sunset. Boat dock lighting also ensures that you or your guests do not unexpectedly end up in the water during the nighttime hours as a result of low visibility. Landscape lighting will allow you to highlight unique architectural features of your home, as well as natural textures such as trees, ponds or shrubs. Landscape lighting services such as lighting docks, seawalls, steps and pathways will also offer a sense of security to you, your family and guests. To learn about some of the most commonly used types of landscape lighting, visit our article on the topic, Types of Landscape Lights.

Dock Plumbing

Running plumbing lines down to your dock can give you a lot of options. You may want to use it to set up a sink for a tiki bar or in a grilling area to make it an amazing place to entertain. Or you may want it for more practical reasons such as setting up a shower and/or foot washing station to help get all of the salt and/or sand off before returning to the house. Or just having a hose hooked up to it can help make the clean up process much faster, allowing you to easily rinse off boating equipment such as life vests, or easily spray down your boat, if needed. Whether installing a water line for a residential dock or installing a whole marina piping system, Speeler Gibson Marine Construction has the experts that can get the job done right. They can help you decide what is the best dock plumbing project for you and they only use the highest quality materials so you can enjoy your dock with plumbing for many, many years to come.

Pilings

Although it is not nearly as exciting as some of the other dock accessories we discussed, investing in pilings or piling products may be the most important accessory you could add to your dock. Marine boring organisms decrease the life of your pilings and it can cost you thousands of dollars to replace your pilings.

Piling Strips, Piling Wrap and Piling Caps

Piling strips are a low cost option, that is fairly easy to install and one way to help protect your pilings from damage. But if you are willing to invest a little more upfront, Speeler Gibson Marine has a unique polyethylene solution that will almost double the life of your pilings and protect your investment for years to come. We also offer piling caps, the decorative caps that are installed on top of pilings. Generally, the cone shape caps and the flat piling caps are the most popular options. Speeler Gibson Marine Construction is an expert on pilings. We can perform an inspection on your pilings, and advise you of your options. We can also design, install, or extract all pilings.

Child Safety Fences

If you have small children or live in an area with kids nearby, you may want to consider installing a child safety fence. Speeler Gibson Marine Construction specializes in the highest quality and most innovative fence layout design and installations. This safety product is an invaluable necessity and there is no skimping on quality of neither finished product nor the installation. Our child safety fences will truly save lives and we are proud to be experts.

Dock Railings

Adding a dock railing can enhance the design of your dock while also increasing the functionality and making your dock safer to use. You can choose from a variety of rails for your dock railing. Some of the most popular types of rails include:

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gibson Marine went above and beyond with our seawall and backyard. Starting with Mike coming out explaining everything and giving us a very fair estimate for the amount of work they had to do. Then getting updates from Candace when the permits and job was starting was on point. The crew of 5 guys that came out were hands down best workers we have seen. They built us a brand new seawall and brought in over 5 trucks of dirt to level our yard in like 6 days! The were so professional and worked nonstop. We are happy we went with Gibson Marine and would recommend them to anyone that needs a seawall.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a tremendous experience with Gibson Marine. Mike, Candace, Greg, and all the crew members were so easy to work with and there was constant communication. Our new seawall is absolutely beautiful!! It's no wonder they do this work on all the homes in our neighborhood. As homeowners, we have found it challenging to find companies that actually follow through so if you are looking for a business that will respond quickly and get the job done right, call them. If we had to do it all over again, I would, without hesitation, work with them again. Thanks for all the hard work that was done to improve our property. We are happy customers :-) -Lake Tarpon

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gibson Marine has just completed our condo seawall. Each stage of work was handled professionally. Communication was excellent as well as follow through. Any questions or concerns were addressed to our satisfaction every time. All crew members were respectful of our property and owners. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Gibbson Marine. How many contractors can you say that about. Seawall looks fantastic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evaluated many seawall contractors and man am I glad I went with Gibson Marine, I am blessed to have picked the right company.   I was very particular with how to sister and join the original dock to the moved pilings and they really got it right.  They even used the stainless tackle I provided and added to it.  They also came back and put every single thing back where it goes, which I appreciated being injured a little bit currently.  The seawall itself is a work of art.  PJ Paver did a great job as did Di’Mond electrician.         IMHO Gibson Marine sets itself apart in the Pinellas sea wall market.  Thanks guys!
