Damaged gangway
If your dock has gangway damage, there
are a few things you can do to make it look new again. Firstly, you can simply
replace the damaged pieces with new ones. This will cost the least money, but
it will require a lot of work. You can also sand the gangway and repaint it.

more skilled with woodworking, you can also try to make your new pieces. Again,
this will require much work and cost you more than simply replacing the pieces.
