Report for February 19-25. 2024

This week's show features an interview with Ryan Vess, a partner at Art Marine, about planning and building boat docks. Ryan discussed the permitting process, which varies by location but often involves working with the DEP and Army Corps of Engineers. He recommended getting permits sorted out before finalizing dock plans. Ryan also covered factors that determine dock size like waterfront footage, intended use, and future boat size. Additionally, he shared best practices for structural integrity like piling placement and cross-bracing. Common mistakes were building docks too small or not reinforcing structures enough.
