Built for Lake Geneva. Ready When It Matters.
A durable pier matters. A durable company matters just as much.
What Sets Lifetime Piers® Apart
At Summerset Marine Construction, performance is a practical outcome built on scale, experience, and engineering depth:
35+ years of marine construction experience
120+ team members supporting fabrication, engineering, and installation
Six in-house engineers focused on structural performance in extreme conditions
99.7% success rate
Active installations across:
Lake Geneva
Green Bay/Lake Michigan (30-50 miles of fetch)
Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota
Green Lake, Wisconsin
They are some of the most demanding freshwater conditions in the Midwest, and frankly, the entire nation.
Anyone who has spent a winter on Lake Geneva understands the reality: Ice doesn’t sit still. It moves, shifts, and applies force in ways most people never have to consider. We’re talking unfathomable pressure, millions of tons of ice, moving across a wide fetch, finding leverage where it can.

Performance That Defines Product
Lifetime All Seasons HD piers are themselves defined both by how they perform under pressure and how they are supported when conditions push limits.
When one installation experienced conditions beyond acceptable performance, Summerset’s response was immediate.
100% covered under warranty
Mobilized as soon as ice allowed access
Completed before April
And just as it was before the ice moved in, the Geneva Lake Women’s Leadership Center All Seasons HD pier is:
fully installed
fully operational
fully ready for the season
The Women’s Leadership Center pier was completed on March 31, 2026, well before most seasonal piers on Geneva Lake left their unsightly shoreline stacks.
Our pier was ready for action.
When did your seasonal pier go in?
Stronger By Design
Every installation informs the next. The Women’s Leadership Center’s system incorporates:
Refined layout geometry
Improved load paths
The latest engineering advancements developed since the original installation
The result? A 4X strength improvement in critical areas. This is how enduring systems evolve, through real-world conditions, measured response, and engineered improvement.
Lake Geneva will continue to do what it does, and without human input:
It will freeze
It will rise and fall
It will shift and apply pressure
And every year, those realities will separate the pretenders from systems that are engineered for it.
Today, all seven Summerset installations on Lake Geneva are:
In place
Performing
Ready for the season
Seven Installations. One Result.
This past winter, six of seven Lifetime All Seasons HD pier installations on Lake Geneva performed exactly as designed.
Today, all seven are ready for the season.
That’s the outcome that matters.
Learn What Your Shoreline Requires
Every shoreline on Geneva Lake is different; depth, exposure, bottom conditions, and ice patterns all matter.
If you’re evaluating a permanent pier, the right starting point is understanding your specific conditions.
