The downside of a permanent dock
So we've got a permanent dock, and most of our neighbors don't. I understand that it's going to get used by neighbors when opening and closing up in spring and fall, and as long as people respect our property and are careful, I'm OK with it. But the past few years I've noticed abnormal wear and tear on the inner 4x6 support posts and a couple solar LED dock lights were crushed. This morning on my security camera I noticed that one of the pontoon barges owned by an island service company was at our dock, No doubt closing up the 2 neighboring camps, taking out the docks and raft. Our neighbors boats aren't going to cause any damage but a beefy built pontoon barge on a windy day might. Normally I wouldn't mind but as I said, I'm seeing damage in spring that wasn't there in the fall.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how they dealt with it.
