What do I need for my cabin on the lake?
July 26, 2009
So we bought a cabin in Northern Minnesota and now we are trying to decide what we need to equipe it with. The cabin sits on a beautiful lake so our first task is to add some water toys. Buying the water toys is the fun part, we are going to buy a couple of jet skis, a fast boat, and a canoe for fishing.
The real challenge is finding the right stuff to help us take care of these toys. Our first decision was to decide on which type of dock to buy. Our choices were between a sectional dock system and a Roll-In dock system. We decided to use a Roll-In Dock system because it would be easier to take in and out of the water each spring and fall. We will be able to use an L formation as well so we can place a bench on the end and enjoy evenings on the lake.
To help store the jet skiis and boat we decided to look into boat lifts. A personal watercraft boat lift and a cantilever boat lift would work just fine for these toys. They make it easy to store the boats and jet skis out of the water and in the spring and fall can be stored relatively easily. We can also get canopies for the lifts to help protect them from the rain and add some aesthics.
Once we have our water toys figured out we will work on a shed to hold the fishing and water dkiing gear, but for now we will just work on getting into the water.
