Docks in Michigan should be stained every 1–2 years due to constant water contact and extreme weather exposure. Annual maintenance extends dock life significantly.
Ideally, docks are stained before spring launch or after fall removal. In-water staining is possible for permanent docks but requires careful product selection.
Marine-grade penetrating oil stains outperform film-forming products on docks. They won't peel or blister from moisture trapped beneath the surface.
