Boardwalk Construction & Repair
At Peters Fence Company, we build boardwalks that connect people to the places they love — lakes, wetlands, parks, and coastal paths. From Northern Colorado’s nature preserves and reservoirs to Gulf Shores, Alabama’s beach and marsh environments, our boardwalks are engineered for stability, safety, and a clean, natural look.
Every site is different — soft soil, shifting sand, rising tides, or seasonal freeze. That’s why each structure we build is tailored to the environment it serves.
Boardwalk Construction
Building a boardwalk starts below the surface. We focus first on a stable foundation — secure pilings, proper elevation, and drainage that prevents heaving or washout. Framing follows in pressure-treated or marine-grade lumber, reinforced with stainless or galvanized hardware for long-term resistance to corrosion and moisture.
We build:
Lakefront and reservoir boardwalks for Northern Colorado
Beach and dune crossovers in Gulf Shores
Public park and trail walkways
Private access paths to docks, piers, or wetlands
Decking options include treated wood, composite planks, or textured non-slip materials, all chosen for durability and comfort underfoot. We design each walkway to handle heavy foot traffic, shifting weather, and constant exposure without warping or sagging.
Boardwalk Repair & Restoration
Over time, boardwalks take a beating from water, wind, and movement beneath the surface. We provide full inspection, repair, and rebuild services to keep them safe and functional without unnecessary replacement.
Typical repairs include:
Replacing rotted or splintered boards
Straightening uneven sections
Reinforcing or replacing support beams and pilings
Upgrading fasteners and hardware
Adding handrails or guard systems for safety compliance
We also handle partial rebuilds, blending new materials into existing sections to maintain a consistent look. Many older boardwalks can be restored rather than replaced — saving cost while extending their lifespan for years.
Custom Boardwalk Design
No two landscapes are alike. We plan each project to fit the terrain, water level, and usage of the site.
In Northern Colorado, that means accounting for freeze-thaw cycles, fluctuating reservoir levels, and soft shoreline soils.
In Gulf Shores, we plan for salt air, shifting sands, and hurricane-rated anchoring systems.
Every project begins with a site assessment, continues through detailed layout and materials planning, and ends with a finished walkway that blends strength with natural appeal.
