If you’ve been searching for PlayStar docks and wondering where they went, you’re not alone.
For years, dock systems were sold directly through the PlayStar website alongside backyard playsets and outdoor products. This spring, PlayStar moved all dock products to a dedicated brand and website:
The dock products are still built and supported by the same team. The main change is where customers shop for them.
This move allows PlayStar to better focus each brand on its own audience while creating a stronger experience for dock customers.
Why the Change?
As PlayStar continued growing both its backyard playset business and its dock systems, it became clear that these were two different customer journeys.
Families shopping for swing sets and outdoor play equipment have very different needs than lakefront homeowners looking for docks, boat lifts, and waterfront accessories.
Rather than trying to combine everything under one website, PlayStar made the decision to give docks their own dedicated home under the Portside brand.
The goal was simple:
- Create a cleaner shopping experience
- Build a stronger dock-focused brand
- Make dock products easier to find and browse
- Continue growing the waterfront product line independently
Is PlayStar Still in the Dock Business?
Absolutely.
PlayStar is still very much involved in the dock business. In fact, the Portside brand was created to strengthen and expand that side of the company, not move away from it.
The same company, same experience, and same commitment to quality remain behind the products.
Portside Docks continues to offer:
- Residential dock systems
- Dock accessories
- Waterfront products
- Replacement parts
- Customer support
The transition simply gives the dock division a more focused identity online.
What Happened to the Old PlayStar Dock Pages?
All major dock-related pages from the PlayStar website were redirected to their new homes on the Portside Docks website.
That means if you bookmarked an old PlayStar dock page or found one in Google search results, you should now automatically land on the matching page at:
This helps preserve existing search value and makes sure customers can still find the products they’re looking for.
Why Separate Websites Matter
The move to Portside Docks was designed to create a better experience for dock customers.
Instead of navigating through playsets, playground equipment, and other outdoor products, customers can now visit a website focused entirely on docks and waterfront living.
This makes it easier to:
- Find dock products faster
- Browse waterfront accessories and replacement parts
- Explore dock systems without unrelated products getting in the way
- Get dock-specific information, support, and resources
By giving docks their own dedicated website, Portside Docks can deliver a more focused shopping experience built specifically for lakefront and waterfront customers.
