FAQs

What is a dune walkover?

A dune walkover is an elevated structure that allows people to cross sand dunes without disturbing vegetation or causing erosion.

Do I need a permit for a walkover?

Yes. Most dune walkovers require local and state environmental permits. BOSS Outdoor handles the entire permitting process to ensure compliance.

What materials are best for beach environments?

We use 100% composite or marine-grade pressure-treated lumber paired with stainless steel fasteners to resist corrosion, moisture, and sun exposure.

Can walkovers be customized?

Absolutely. We can add handrails, lighting, viewing platforms, and ADA-accessible features to meet your property’s needs and design preferences.

How long will a walkover last?

Properly constructed walkovers can last 20–30 years or more, depending on materials and maintenance. Composite materials offer the longest lifespan with minimal upkeep.

How do walkovers protect dunes?

By elevating foot traffic above sensitive vegetation, walkovers prevent erosion and preserve natural dune stability—protecting your property and the coastal ecosystem.

What’s the cost of a dune walkover?

Pricing depends on length, elevation, materials, and permitting requirements. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates after a site visit.
