Oak wooden pier can replace a paved area, it simplifies the access to water even on rainy days, where an ordinary gravel of grassy areas are muddy. It is an important element of urban furniture. If you put tables and chairs on the pier, it becomes a great place to relax. 

Location of the pier above the water

The platform is usually located above the water to make access to it as comfortable as possible. Oak pier can create a single surface or an entire system of platforms placed at different levels. If the pier is near the house, it is a great idea to install lighting there so that it can be used at night. For the pier construction, it is best to use oak wood with high resistance to harmful effects of humidity and to weather conditions. Boards for the production of the oak pier must be planed and smoothed with sandpaper. Their surface can be smooth or grooved, i.e. with longitudinal grooves. An advantage of corrugation is, that the board surface drains faster and the risk of slipping on them is small, even when they are wet. It is good if the upper edges of boards are chamfered (i.e. slightly cut at an angle), thus they will be less damaged during their life time service. The material designed for the platform construction should be outside of the building for a certain period of time. As a result, the wood gains sufficient moisture and later large deformations do not occur.
