diving board

NHDOLFAN · 07-22-2008, 04:12 PM

I am looking for a diving board and base for my cottage on the island. I was thinking that a 6' one would suit us. Does anyone have one at their home and if so any suggestions would be great. If someone has a board and base in good condition, please let me know.

I do not have a diving board, but would love one. Is a permit needed to put one on a dock?

I don't think a permit is needed for one on your dock however it might make your homeowners policy go up a little. We'd love to put one on our raft.

have you checked craigslist?

Yes. Most boards are located in Mass, which is to far to drive.

My insurance agent told me that Travelers would drop me if I put a diving board on my pool....not sure if that might be different on a lake.

Make sure you can get coverage before

A lot of companies will drop you (or jack up your premmiums!) if you place a diving board on a dock or float (property) or if you introduce one of those inflatible bouncing water trampolines to your waterfront. Even slides off a dock can create an increase in premium as well! Anything that "invites" a higher risk is trouble and expensive!
