The practical person in me has to ask this question. Why not build your docks with a higher running surface? Numerous times over the last 10-12 years the water level has risen to the point of docks going under so it's not some 1/500 year phenomenon.

They do it on the ocean AND they have to deal with tides.

Seriously, if wakes are impacting you, engineer around it. Sorry but the lake being 6-12 inches above full should not be reason to "shut 'er down."

Does a standard height exist? Seems to me the problem is those who don't think ahead and build their docks too low.
