Owned and operated since 1981 by Debbie Poole, LakesideCustomWorks specializes in marine exterior fabrications focusing on all types and styles of boat tops and covers. Debbie is part of the Poole Family which owns and operates Buckeye Marine and has been a major player in the marine industry for almost 60 years. Lakeside has been featured on television and in several boating publications, giving helpful advice on design and maintenance of covers and enclosures. Conveniently located in the heart of boating country, Lakeside boasts a large modern facility. The fenced and guarded compound ensures a secure environment, where you can leave your boat with confidence.
The well-equipped workshop will house several boats at a time, ensuring efficient turnaround. Boats of any size and type can be accommodated, from the smallest simple fishing boat or whaler to performance style boats, family runabouts and cruisers. In the past several years we have specialized in large yachts which come to us via the nearby Trent-Severn Waterway. Boats up to 30 feet can be handled indoors, on site. Larger trailerable boats can be handled on site outdoors.
All tops and covers are designed professionally by staff with a combined expertise of over 50 years.
